Hello to all! I have updated pics of my garden on my profile page if anyone cares to look. Can’t believe here in Western Washington we are having such a great summer, and that my garden is actually growing. I’m known more for killing plants than I am for growing them!

Love those photos of your garden in progress. It really pays to do it right the first time and I see your hubby using a level on the gate frame to make sure it is level and plumb so the gate fits it perfectly. What is the plant that has some fruit or tuber at the base?

Great looking garden! That took a lot of work. And now it is paying off! Kudos! What type of plant is that in the next to last photo?

I love your photos Mama Shawna. Your husband must be related to mine. I had to convince him we were making boxes for dirt, not furniture.

I have a tomato starting to turn red!!! Cause for celebration in the Grammy household. I have lots and lots and lots of green tomatoes, just none that have ripened yet!

As for the rest of the stuff, the bush beans seem to have played out, but I hate to rip them out. They still eke out a bean or three now and then. I have had several zuchinni, I have minute cucumbers and a 2 inch butternut squash. The potatoes are just dying. No idea why. Herbs suck, melon vines are anemic, and I have 3 (count them, 3) carrots growing.

My friend brought me kohlrobi plants today to grow for fall.

Oh, and Nashville had 3 record low temps this week, beating records set in the 1800s.
