Garden Time


Here's our little backyard garden for Spring/Summer/Fall(?) 2009. It's nothing extraordinary (we just don't have the space), but hopefully it will provide more than a few summer treats for us. We tried a garden last year but after our tomato plants had a run-in with our lawn service's broad leaf weed spray, they decided to stop growing. 2, 4-D isn't friendly. So, garden #2 is up and running!

I ordered our vegetable plants from Tasteful Garden again this year. They are based out of Heflin, Alabama. They are a small family, but they are doing big business lately - good for them. They also have lots of great heirloom plants to choose from. This year I'm growing...

Sun Gold
Carmello
Black Pear

Chile de Arbol
Carmen Pepper

Japanese Eggplant
Italian Zucchini
