Garden - July 14, 2012

Things are well under way now in the garden. We had to remove the large deciduous magnolia that was here since before we bought this place in the 1990's as it had gotten way too big for its britches starting to take over the entire yard hogging a lot of the sunlight in the yard and the nutrients from the flowers and vegetables. We're planning a nice small garden designed in the space it used to inhabit, probably putting it into place next spring.

Tomatoes getting there

Another view of the tomatoes

Chard and beets still holding up in the back, fennel, carrots and basil up front

I'm trying the pole beans on actual poles instead of a trellis. So far I'm not impressed.

Bought 2 zucchini plants and we got 3. Lots of squash this summer.

Thinning out the fennel and basil from the other bed, moved these here

The containers - added some marjoram, dill, and cilantro seedlings
