Four Corners # 3

Time for a veggie garden catch up.

If you check this post you will see how everything

has grown in two months.

Gotta love Summer!

Four corner views #2

I took these photos as a record of the veggie garden

as I headed off on my trip.

So I will be able to ascertain the difference

when I return...and, if I have to,

I will use them to whack The Cook

over the head if she lets it all die.

Check out the potatoes in front.

I have three colours of climbing beans growing up that tee pee
made from fallen branches.  It is very tall.

Oh no! 

I just got an email from The Cook

to say the creek pump, which feeds

all the taps in the garden,

has gone on the blink.

Being the mechanical incompetent

that she is, she will have no hope

of fixing the pump...

even if it is the simplest problem.

She is using buckets.

I am expecting to see the veggies

all tall and lush and

The Cook, all thin and taut

when I return.

Veggie Garden - Four corners #1

Here is the first in a series of views from each of the corners of the vegetable garden.  I have included that little plan, so you can orient yourselves.  I think it will get bigger if you click on it.

View 1:  From the north-east corner.

The grassy bit in the foreground is the over-wintered carrot patch.

Yes, it is weedy, but the carrots are great.

The orange conduit and net (right)

 is the berry house which runs along the back fence.

You can see the greenhouse, and the shelves (in front of the shed) 

with the containers and pots that are the 'outside' component 

of my greenhouse experiments.

View 2: From the north-east corner.

In the foreground, potatoes.  Behind that, newly planted tomatoes.  

Further back, onions and then broad beans.  

To the left, in the raised bed, more onions and leeks.

View 3: From the south-west corner, looking diagonally back to first view.

Lots of garlic.  There is tiny corn in the foreground, 

and a couple of zucchini.

View 4: From the south-east corner.

In the foreground, there are pumpkins planted...and more garlic.

You can bet, the next time I do a 'Four Corners' post,

 it will look very different...

so long as I can keep the goats out!
