Garden 2008 - 60 days strong

June 18, 2008. Summer starts in three days. We’ve had 90-degree heat, heavy rains and bouts of blight and mold this year, but the garden is still alive and just starting to produce (planted the garden in mid April this year). We’ve enjoyed cucumbers and zucchini these last two weeks. Next up are the tomatoes and bush beans.

Potted herbs and potatoes
Planted about two weeks ago.
Basil in front and an experiment with small potatoes in back.


Patio garden
Hmm. It’s crowded up here.


Potted strawberries and squash
The empties are “supposed”to be filled with bell peppers.
The two flanking in back are strawberries.
Left, front is yellow squash.


Roma tomatoes
Roma tomatoes started from seed.


Tomatoes
Store bought tomato plants - they’re almost 7-feet tall.

Flipside.
The tomatoes and cucumbers take over the patio again!


Dwarf orange tree
Dwarf orange tree - flowering and fruiting since February
...and still flowering.

Dwarf orange tree - representative fruit.


Zucchini
Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to grow zucchini in pots.
But she’s still going strong.


Bush beans
The only thing that grew in the backyard - some bush beans.
