How Does Your Garden Grow?

Ours is in full swing. Bring on the summer salads!

Dave surveying (and harvesting) his kingdom...



Those squash he's holding? Start here...


We've already harvested and enjoyed 5 or 6 little heads of broccoli. We have to get them before they bloom -- about 5 inches wide at the crown. Here's another, almost ready...


See this yellow current tomato? We split it after I took the photo -- just a nibble apiece. A bit tart...


Teeny tomatillos coming on...


Dave's favorite -- the herb box. Clockwise from top: Italian flat parsley, Thai basil, lemon thyme, and dill...

I am so envious of your garden! I'm trying to talk my husband into building boxes for me...

They're super easy, just heavy. Even so, Dave + I were able to scoot them into place. The long sides are whole boards; the only cuts are the end boards. I'll email the lumber list for one box + you can multiply for your dude.
