Well it’s the last week of Summer and I thought I’d share my veggie garden in here, with some things growing in it now and some of our harvests over Spring and Summer
This garden was my 40th birthday present and we created it 8 months ago. Previously it was an unproductive backyard full of old diseased and invasive trees that needed more work to maintain than it does now! Crazy.
And for years I was stuck growing our produce in pots against the house (the only spot that got full sun) and in one Birdies Raised Bed.
Now I have space, sunlight and so many ideas to improve these growing areas! It is very much shaping up to be my dream vegetable garden
You may have guessed, but I seem to be have a ‘thing’ about Sunflowers and also Pumpkins
I have two Pumpkin patches, a smaller one and a larger one.. and there are 19 different varieties of Pumpkins growing in these!
ETA, I grew everything from seed that I’ve been collecting for the last 7 years.
This is the first pumpkin patch along with two varieties of corn ^^^
The second pumpkin patch when we created it back in October ^^^
And now, with vines covering everything
Bottle gourd growing up the Chicken house
Tromboncino growing up the children’s playhouse
