Garden 2006/07/11

Cucumbers and tomato plant. One side of cucumbers are for salads, the other line is for pickling!

I believe these are cubanelle peppers.

Some other variety of pepper.

Strawberry pot full of herbs, a marigold coming out one area and strawberries in the top.

Whole garden as seen from the gate.

Whole garden again. You can see the strawberry pot in the middle. The garden line used to be just in front of that. When I thinned out the cucumbers and zucchini this weekend and moved the eggplants and all of the pepper plants to get them out from under the two large zucchini plants, the garden plot grew. You can see I moved the cucumbers to along the fence. They don't look so hot now. Nor do the transplanted zucchini along the front right edge of the garden. Next year have to remember to give zucchini plenty of space!

Speaking of zucchini. See that zucchini on the right side, that's the size a zucchini should be... I let some grow a little too big before picking.

Note to Amy - I know you like garden pictures, so try not to get too excited when you see the first yield of zucchini crop all lined up together. See the three small-ish ones in the middle, those are like the perfect size. All the others are a little freakishly large... compare to the cantalope in the background there! (Cantalope not from my garden but from our vegetable delivery last week).

Sprouting cucumber plants... these needed to be thinned out. Which didn't happen until this past weekend.

Progress

Taken in October 2005, about a month and a half after Katrina hit.

Taken July 2006. Not as many tarps on the rooves.

Garden 2006/05/??

Here are the pictures I took a few days after I planted the garden in late May. Taken right before the sun went down, so light is pretty bad.*

Rather than start from seeds, I bought starters of zucchini, bell pepper, watermelon, cubanelle, and some other hot pepper that I can't remember the name of right now.
