Garden Pictures

Here is our garden about a month ago, yes, I'm really on top of things and post them right as they happen. We've been a bit busy the last month. These pictures are mostly of our garden, so if you don't want to see, just skip this.

Here Izi is again with her favorite chickens. In the background is our Eglu chicken coop. It is SO awesome!! I love it! It's really easy to clean, move around and the chickens like it too. We're all happy with it.

Here is a close up of our tomato plant. It's just one, but it's grown huge! I can't get it to stay up, even with a cage and two stakes. Down from it is some Swiss Chard that goes all the way across the box. And of course the corn. To the left of the tomato plant we have a little cherry tomato.

Zucchini. Above it are sugar snap peas and below are some carrots. To the right are the potatoes.

These are out potatoes. To the left you can see the zucchini leaves. Above it, cucumbers. Below the potatoes more swiss chard and pumpkins.

Pumpkins.

Here is a top view of the cucumbers, peas and potatoes.

Starting at the top of the picture is corn, then basil, swiss chard and two pumpkin plants. The girls came home from school with them. To the right of the basil are the tomoatos.

We planted two kinds of corn, the regular yellow and this red version. The yellow tastes better to me and this lost some color when we boiled it. But it looks cool and I can probably dry some for decorations this fall.


Our first potatoes, Yukon gold (they were YUMMY!) and a few tomatoes. Scott is the only one who eats them and with the one plant doing so well, he is a little behind on eating them.

Beautiful garden! We're wanting to do the chicken thing next year. Any tips?
