Finally got out my husband's camera to take some pictures of my garden AND actually uploaded them so I could share. I do everything in raised beds and grow bags due to a very large black walnut tree in the yard. So FWIW, my little Connecticut garden

Corn - first year trying it. Keeping Mr Raccoon out is not easy

Purple Kohlrabi - I've done kohlrabi before, but not purple

Red Sails Lettuce - last of it for the summer

Escarole - also first this year

Kale - I have two types this year. Forgot to get the Tuscany kind seeds - oops

Celery - some is going into a creamy celery soup in a few minutes - you can see my fennel and Swiss chard too

Thai peppers - I'm going to have 100's in a few days as I have 5 other plants!!

Tomatos are setting fruit. Already picking some Early Girls. The closest is a Black Krim

Lastly, Collard Greens. Last year I picked some on New Years Day!! You can also see the huge catnip plant that makes my kitten herd very happy.

Thank you for letting me share. My friends aren't always that thrilled when I send them garden pictures. Next week I'll try to get the herbs and flowers including two huge shrubs of oregano.

What a beautiful garden you have! It's so lush. I'm envious. I live in Colorado and the heat and sun have destroyed the vegetables in my raised bed--literally burnt them to a crisp--so I enjoyed the virtual stroll through your green garden.

What a wonderful garden you have Kitty. It looks like your raised gardens are made from concrete blocks, am I seeing right? Your Thai peppers and kohlrabi are beautiful.
