Veggies Galore

Here's the backyard garden (view from the deck):




This is the first year we've had paths in the garden making 6 sections. Back here we have:
58 heads of lettuce
2 onion
2 leek
8 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, yielding about 15 plants
6 bell peppers, all different colors
1 jalepeno
1 serrano
1 mucho nacho pepper
5 blackberry bushes
4 head of garlic
1 Rosemary bush
4 borage plants

Here's a close up of one plot.


I planted the blackberries in buckets and buried them so they don't take over the garden or the neighbors yard.

This weekend Mark put a gate in the fence so we could get to the front & backyard gardens conveniently.



And it is indeed convenient.

Remember the front raised beds?



There's the currant bush! The first bed has 3 tomato plants, 2 tomatillos, a row of basil, a row of cilantro, a row of fennel, 1 chive, 1 sage, and 1 parsley.

The second box has all seeds so it doesn't look very nifty yet: 2 zucchini, 2 crookneck squash, 2 acorn squash, 5 borage, and 4 echinacea.

Here's to hoping the weekend cold spell doesn't kill anything!
