Oops! Looks like I forgot to finish a post. How fun to look back at the mid-summer garden!
... looks a lot like a "normal" June garden. We're eating lettuce, green onions, chard, baby beets, summer squash, and broccoli. There is abundant promise.
...Zuccini and blossoms...
...yellow squash and more blossoms...
...shepherd's potatoes...
...with blossoms. Potato blossoms are very pretty, and are obviously in the nightshade family!
...squash blossoms. Someday I'm going to try fried squash blossoms.
...tomatoes, if not ripening, at least there are now green ones.
Garden view looking SSW. Onions, lettuce, beets, broccoli, leeks, squash, corn, sunflowers.
...corn with tassles!
...more potato blossoms. This time a red potato - Carmine.
...beans to come! The Royal Purple are gorgeous plants. Red stems and the lovely violet-pink blossoms! The little bean is still green - soon to turn dark purple.
This has been a great year for broccoli. Not too hot, not too cold.
Pole beans climbing up the sunflowers.
A closer look at a baby Royal Purple bean.
That was where I stopped, but I figured it is still worth sharing. The garden of 2011 isn't quite done, though long past its peak. It's not too early to look forward to next year's garden!
