Veggie Garden...commentary soon to follow.

I really like the way we set it up this year.  The husband suggested placing the beds horizontally, and I agreed.  It makes for a much more functional set up for me.

I decided to lay mulch,....which I must lay much more of...and stepping stones.  I call it my English garden.

Along the fence are cucumbers, morning glory, and dahlia's from Daddy's garden.

My goodness...it is 7/23 now and this has grown so much!  Closest to the front is eggplant,  followed by peppers, followed by cherry tomatoes...sweet 100.

Right in front is more eggplant, followed by spaghetti squash, followed by sweet 100.  There are string beans planted in front of the spaghetti squash.

Regular tomatoes, followed by sugar snap peas.  The baby plant to the right is zucchini.

These were supposedly bush pickle cucumbers...but they climb.  I guess you never know!

Cucumber close up.

Sugar snap peas supported by left over fencing and a broken umbrella structure.  The garden boxes were also built by my fantastic neighbor who is a jack of all trades and the best neighbor a person could have.

Romaine lettuce in front of the sweet 100s.  I was able to harvest about two heads of romaine before it bolted and I put it into compost.  Perhaps next year I will stagger these plants to one each week so that I get it use it all.

In the back is lemon balm...if you want any...I will give it to you.  This stuff grows like a weed but I do love it.  In front of that is bee balm (supposed to keep mosquitoes away), followed by a black eyed-Susan given to me by my friend Anne.
