Harvest Time

Russian heirloom tomatoes








heirloom zucchini









dill









heirloom cantaloupe
cabbage
jalapeno's
and my supper....
mustard greens, cukes, red potatoes, onions and little fingers carrots.

I am so tickled with my carrots, I tried something new by growing them in a pot! After visiting the urban homestead website, a family in Pasadena CA raising a garden on a tenth of an acre using raised beads and pots and having great success I thought I would give it a try and what do ya know, it works! I've never had much luck growing carrots in my garden so from now on they will be pot bound. Organic gardening is lots more work but well worth it.

Garden Days

Sweet William, raspberries, lettuce blooms
















This year I tried something different with some of my peas. After coming across Path to Freedom the urban homesteaders in California I thought I would try a few veggies in pots, as you can see their doing great! Another new project is mixing buckwheat with corn, that's working out to be a winner too.

A resting dragonfly, all that flying around is hard work ya know!










What a pretty butterfly on my astilbe, looks like he's got lots
of yummy pollen or is that just puffy orange shorts?
