growing steady

i admit. i have been a bad vegi garden mother this year. at least thus far. but i am determined to change that very soon. during my efforts to spruce up my front patch of garden, i noticed that my v-garden had executed a beautiful collection of produce, all on her own! arugula, peppers, squash, lettuce, basil, potatoes! all of this with out my constant attention. i would sneak a peak at my raised bed every now and then to start planning my new edible scape, but this last time as i ventured down the tiny slope to the boxed growth i realized - oh my gosh! they are doing it a lot growth all by themselves! it was as if my vegi garden was a child that had become independent! i was kind of proud.

still. i am determined to get my self in order and start some serious planning / planting. any favorites or suggestions? i am going to for sure try for a bean teepee! broccoli, tomatoes (duh), peppers, snap peas, kale, cucumber. by the way in the recent issue of sunset they suggest really cool varieties of all your classic v-garden favorites. i highly recommend it.

  1. I'm quite jealous of your warm climate. The only thing that really wintered over here are weeds. I spent all day coaxing them out of the ground (mud).

  2. Awesome! I have a lot of baby plants already big enough to go outside in my veggie garden, but our climate isn't that constantly warm. So they will have to stay inside for another few weeks, poor ones!
