In My Garden – August 2024

There is so much blooming in my garden right now that choosing what to write about is difficult. I can only give you a snapshot. So, here goes.

The big news is that we have finally finished our little vegetable farm. We now have ten 3×6-foot raised beds. We built them a foot off the ground to deter the redwood roots.

You may ask what is planted…

Radishes (French and watermelon), beets, carrots, and several lettuce mixes are not pictured because they are too small.

There is room for a little seating area for an evening glass of wine.

Ready for tea or cocktails

The tomatoes are growing, with three small green ones on the vines.

Who is this? I found this cute little guy hanging out in one of the water tubes around the tomatoes.

And, of course, there are flowers. It is looking very much like an overgrown cottage garden.

It’s keeping me busy and dirt under my fingernails, but the garden is my happy place.

Thank you for visiting and spending time with me in the garden.
