Garden Pics!

Bed 1: Corn! It's growing very quickly and is already taller than Landis.



Bed 2: Herbs, Tomatoes, Peppers, Scallions and Berries. We have been able to enjoy onions and herbs, a few strawberries and one banana pepper from this bed so far. There are dozens of tomatoes ripening, several bell and banana peppers, strawberries and blueberries.



Bed 3: Watermelon and Green Beans. The watermelon are on the far side of the bed, the beans are nearer. I started some of the watermelon from seeds and bought some as seedlings. The ones bought as seedlings have started flowering. We hope to have tons of watermelon all summer long!



Bed 4: Radishes, Carrots, Lettuce, Spinach, Red Onions, Cucumbers and Squash. I just planted the carrot, onion and cucumber seeds, and they have not yet emerged. I plan to use string and the poles on the near side of the garden to make a support structure for the cucumbers and squash.



Mini garden on the windowsill. From left to right, basil, broccoli and spinach. To the right of the long planter, there are 2 small round pots. 1 is filled with marigolds, and the other contains Landis' pet bean plant. It has, miraculously, survived Landis' rough toddler love.



The whole garden. There are 4 beds. Next to the closest bed, you can see trays of seedlings waiting to be put in the ground.
