In my lovely garden

This year my garden has been incredible. So far the best one I've ever had. My plants are HUGE! I did a bunch of composting over the winter and I don't know if that is why or what but I LOVE IT! I took Sam out (my quaker parrot) to visit the garden and started taking pictures of him in the garden and ended up with a bunch of pictures so I thought I'd share.

Sam with the tomatoes


These are my tomato plants. As you can see they are gigantic. I have 2 cherry, 1 grape, 1 beefsteak, 2 heirloom and 1 persimmon. I also have two volunteer tomato plants that popped up from last year. They are smaller but I think I'm going to get some tomatoes off them as well. I planted the yummiest baby carrots too. Oh yeah there is one volunteer lemon cucumber in this bed as well.





This is my corn. I have planted corn in the past and it didn't do very well. I did some research and found out that I needed at least 4 rows of corn for pollination. So I did one whole bed of corn this year and it's doing great so far.







Here we have broccoli and green beans. The broccoli was a new adventure this year and had been fun to grow. It just keeps growing and growing. We've been eating a lot of broccoli this summer. Sam doesn't complain though because it's his favorite!
















MMMM Tomatoes! I can hardly wait until they are ripe. It won't be long.
