'Big Garden' Tour and other 'Garden Stuff' - June 30, 2021

Haralson apple. Tree is loaded, no disease issues so far!

Mount Royal Plum. Tree is loaded.

Tater Patch coming along just fine. Thinking about blooming!

Freshly weeded Sweet Corn Patch. 'Ambrosia' and 'Kandy Korn.'

Pumpkin & Winter Squash patch. Blooming and setting vines.

This whole area was SUPPOSED to be a Wildflower Garden. These are the survivors of numerous tillings, so they can stay. 🙂

Grape arbor is also loaded this season. Variety is 'Somerset' light red, seedless for jelly, juice and wine.

Porch Pots coming along well. LOVE the coleus color combo I found at Cushman's Greenhouses in Belmont. Coleus. Left: 'Main Street Wall Street,' Center: 'Main Street Broad Street' and Rear: 'Limon Blush.'

Something new for me this season, 'Malabar Spinach.' (Basela Rubra) Not a true spinach, but a plant with spinach-like leaves that climbs and can take the summer heat. Gets a neat cluster of red berries on it, too, also edible.

The two new raised beds that Beau & Mick made for me this season. Holding specialty tomatoes and Marigold and Zinnia for now; I will be planting garlic and spring bulbs for cutting, later this fall.

Volunteer Sunflower in the middle of the Kitchen Garden. I always let a few do their thing.
