Summer Garden 2011

Print
Since we live in the southeast United States, I am lucky to be able to plant two summer gardens.  I didn't change the plants too much... why change what is working!

I love a garden that looks healthy and productive!



Meet the four (4) new bell pepper plants... 2 green, 1 yellow, 1 red


The tomato plants from back of the trellis...


I still had a producing strawberry plant, so I left it. 
I love watching the vine travel!

I added more green bean plants... so yummy!


Friday's pickins...

I composted the snow peas and made room for a zucchini plant in the garden box.  Not pictured are two yellow squash plants which are producing well!

Happy Gardening!

  1. Your garden looks great! We didn't get any squash this time--I had to pull all the plants up because they had out-of-control mold and it spread to all the squash, zuccinis and cucumbers. I want to plant some pumpkins for Fall.

  2. I also have (3) Square foot Garden Boxes. I am loving how easy they are. Your garden looks to be productive as well!

  4. What a thrill to see a fruitful garden in your own backyard! Mine needs a little work but has done ok in spite of the heat. Blessings!

  8. I love garden-fresh produce! My husband brought home fresh-picked green beans last night from a customer's house he'd worked at, and I quickly fixed them for dinner! :)
