there are many beds in the garden...

...and they have a host of robust plants growing in them...the sweet corn ears are becoming more pronounced wit every visit...the plants are in full flower and i would expect tassels soon...the cucumber wall is blooming and producing some not so nascent cucumbers...salad anyone? the purple kohlrabi has me thinking of the purple cauliflower i planted and am still waiting on...the seed pack said the test germination yielded only 89%...did i plant the 11% that are duds? i see a replant in the very near future...the eggplants in the bottom two photos are deep in production and some seem to be nearing maturity...perhaps the squirrels have had their fill this year...i can hope...it is good in the garden this july ( far better than last ) and i think we can look forward to good production into autumn...then a lesson ( for me anyway ) in mulching strawberries for winter...several years experience mulching asparagus should come in handy as a start point, no? green manures and rhizobia bacteria on tap for the end of the month...stay tuned for that...ellen tells me she has found a new friend for the garden today who will help spread the word about our efforts...i say cool beans to that...stop by and visit when you have a moment...join in if you can.
