So what's in your garden?


Vegetables:

I have a very small vegetable garden this year- about 10 4x4 boxes.

(3 plants of each listed below)
Tomatoes: Romas, Cherry 100s, Brandywines, Beefsteaks.
Cucumbers: Divas, Northern Pickling.
Peppers: Sweet Banana, Jalopena, California Wonders.
Yellow Straight neck Squash, Romain lettuce, Leaf lettuce, Butter Crunch.

Pascal celery (10 plants), Bloomingdale Spinach (15 plants)
Kuroda long Carrots (100 plants), Kentucky Wonder Green Beens (60 plants)
Broccoli (8 plants), Cauliflower (4 plants) and Early Green Cabbage (4
plants) and ...... Basil (6 plants). All for one person

I will start replacement for the leaf lettuces and basil this week.
They bolt to seed after 2 to 3 months.

Going try juicing or canning this fall if I have more than I can eat.
Only food preserve so far was freezing Green Beans last year. Yum

I have already had nice salads - with
(Romain, Leaf, Butter Crunch, Spinach, Basil, Banana Pepper and Pickling
Cucumbers) Very Tasty

My Vegetable Garden growing extremely well this year. No Tomatoes yet

Flowers:
Annuals from seed: 100 marigolds, 50 Zinnas, 50 Petunias, 50 Snap
Dragons. I have dozen Rose Bushes, Evergreens and other Perennials
around the house to keep me busy.

My first Vegetable Garden 8 years ago was a disaster, large 50 x 50
feet. Directly into the ground, water logged and full of weeds.
Gardening is a major learning experience. Best to start small, learn and
build.

And I thought I was going to be ridiculed for my thoughts on Philosophy.


We are all ridiculous, impertinent, and mislead. We are all looking at
the shadows on the walls of Plato's cave. Truth is fleeting. All
knowledge is transitory. Enjoy the ride. You are better than no one, and
no one is better than you. Truth is where you find it.
