Grace and I have done a lot of work in our front and back yards over the past 12 months. I wanted to share some photos.
Two IBC water tanks (530 gallon capacity) in foreground and greenhouse in background. You can see the gutter spout feeding right tank.
My daughter posing next to a bed of onion, Brandywine tomatoes, and carrots. White cups are used to block 'cut worms' and to capture more water.
Front of greenhouse. PVC pipe used to wrap up front of the greenhouse to regulate summer heat and to help harden the plants.
Our Romaine and Red Romaine lettuce we've been eating for the past month.
Corn. I had extra potatoes and place them between some of the stocks. I admit, this was probably as stupid idea for a couple of reasons...so I'm calling this an experiment. =)
Broccoli, daughter, cabbage, and cauliflower.
Compost bins in the background. Heating up really good now with garden grass clippings. Wonder beans and Bush beans, spinach, cucumbers (in distance), and Beefsteak tomatoes in background on right side.
This is where we sit to enjoy the outdoors. Need to control mosquitoes now. Those are grapes over the arbor and miscellaneous patio plants in pots.
Another patio shot. I like the Confederate Jasmine growing up the trellis on the back of the house. These plants smell beautiful.
Edible landscaping. Strawberries in the foreground. Raspberry and Blueberry plants in background. The red blooms are an Azalea bush.
Another view of edible landscaping.
Getting bold. We've moved 8 grape plants to the sunny (when sun is shining) front yard. This has received a lot of attention from neighbors and many walkers.
Regards,
Chuck
Love the azalea, makes me think of the golf that's on at the moment (not that I watch it, but my husband does and the one thing I notice is all the azaleas round the course!).
(thanks)
