R. sent me pictures today to show how the garden is coming along. I miss being there to see it in person! He focused on planting the basics this summer while I'm away - tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, peas (shelling and dry), beans (snap and dry), lettuce, and a small patch of carrots.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes and peppers along the south side of the house. I think lettuce is planted in the rectangular containers.
Beans - Tiger Eye (dry/bush with runners)
More beans - Beka Brown (dry/bush)
...and more beans (Ruckle - dry/bush) and onions.
The lilacs are in bloom.
Last month, R. had someone cut back the trees in the front yard. What a huge difference this will make in the amount of sunlight the South garden gets.
Peas - On the left side of the stake are shelling peas (Alaska and Green Arrow). On the right side are a few rows of dry yellow peas (Gold Harvest).
The potato patch (in the North garden). Along the left hand edge is a row of Swedish Red (dry) peas.

The garlic patch (in the South garden this year).
Loulou loves to hang out in the garlic patch, especially once the garlic has reached it's full height.
