my gardens

[Trellum]

Getting ready for a zombie apocalypse? Just kidding! I think it's really awesome you got so much space to work and all that motivation to do something so useful with it, amazing tomato harvests by the way. Really amazing! The best part is tat you guys end up eating a lot organic produce and don't even have to buy it, that would be my only reason to get a big place and plant my own vegetables.

few years back only had 6 raised beds and was trying to figure out how to grow more in a small area,saw a gutter that was plugged up and weeds growing out of it so goggled
'gutter gardens' told the dw what i was planning to along the fence line the next spring, she said no so i just made 5 more beds that spring..

anyway for people who have limited growing space it is a very neat idea, growing vertical instead of horizontal...

and someday i would really like to do this.... oh wait a sec i need to win the lottery first...

the girls and i went for our walks this afternoon and picked some carrots and green onions....
glad the carrot inspector was there....

she loves carrots.....

even whites ones

she did turn her nose up on a purple carrot....go figure
she loves to taste test all the veggies....think her 3 favorites are spinach, green beans and carrots.

and bok chio only received a little frostbite....

Just awesome! I would love to have a garden like that in Northern Argentina where I plan on building my house. I assume you must give away or sell some of your harvest. You can't possibly eat all of that. By the way, I love your peppers. I hope to grow some that good one day. Keep growing.

what we do not freeze can or dry, we give to our friends and fellow employees. during the summer will take at least 4-5 5 gallon buckets into work every week...

yesterday got home early.. getting ready for the big storm today .
anyway early last week we had lows in upper teens at night and not much above freezing during the days. took the girls for their walk and decided to check on the beds..
everyone took a little beating mainly the red oak leaf lettuce..but all in all everyone looks ok... was figuring to find everything toast...

Your garden is larger than my whole back yard. It good to see how much you produce and share with others. Thanks for sharing, I hope to be able to have a small version of your garden some day.
