Thanks to Barbara Kingsolver for the title of this blog entry, and also for her inspiration about growing your own food! The garden is truly prodigious this month!
Raspberries!
Finally got the little watermelon plants int he ground---in place of a raspberry that didn't make it. I foolishly purposely planted some canes that were bearing raspberries last fall, not knowing that they only fruit one year.
Corn not quite knee high, also zuchini in foreground, brocoli behind.
The volunteer potatoes continue to grow, plus some extras that I added this spring.
The herb garden is beautiful
Lemon verbena....one of my favorite herbs!
Bergamot---smells like earl gray tea!
Basil...yum!
Cucumber vines growing up their willow stick trellises.
Garlic planted last October is ready for harvest
Laura's silver triticale wheat has spouted! She sent seeds to friends to grow flowers for her wedding reception!
Peas have died back, ready to be pulled to make room for pole beans. The lettuce is almost done too, but I'm still enjoying it!
Tomato plants grow taller.
Late planted pumpkin seeds just sprouting!
Grapes--these are the champagne grapes from Teds.
