Garden; house project retrospective

Garden shots. Above: cucumbers in the background, climbing the trellis; peppers (about 20 different kinds from scorchingly hot to mild); and in the foreground some herbs.
Here's an overhead shot of the tomato forest. They're so tall & deep that I raised the camera above my head and took a series of shots. This is the best one.

Mark out standing in his field. Heh Heh.

Lettuces.

Radishes, beets and broccoli. In the far back: broccolini going to seed. It's all volunteer stuff.

4 different kinds of basil: lemon, purple (opal), Thai and Genovese; and, in the background, Zucchini plants. We put some of the Genovese in a Fritatta this morning. I was encouraged to _not_ use sweet potatoes in the Fritta again .

And finally, a quick retrospective. This time last year we were witnessing the discovery of humongous rocks lurking below ground, and also celebrating the garden produce. We're still dealing with rocks (in fact, I'm going to be moving some around today) and of course celebrating this year's garden. We have gotten about three ripe tomatoes out of the garden, and all of them are cherry tomatoes. Let's pray for a nice long Indian Summer....
