This is part of our veggie garden as of a few days ago. We are about to be over run with veggies of all sorts.
I envision lots of canning, pickling, fermenting, freezing, drying, sauce making, and eating in our future. During a lockdown these are happy jobs.
There is a lot here that doesn’t show up. Zucchini, tomatoes, winter squash, potato, kale, lettuce, sun chokes, peppers, artichokes, eggplants, collard greens, carrots, rhubarb, plums, apples, pears, bees and honey, beans, beets, herbs and such.
This is what happens when you come from a farming family. Some would say it’s a curse.
If anyone wants to come over and help eat you would be welcomed.

This must have been so much hard work and it has paid off in abundance. It must be great too have a massive reserve as a back garden. I'll be right over for some, Zucchini, now that I know what it is, any spare kale, I love the stuff and keeps my iron up and beets, yes beets very tasty. A job well done I would say. 👍😊
Is that all you're growing! 😁😁 Seriously, that's really impressive and it looks very good - you really do have a lot of kitchen time ahead - that'll keep you busy and fed! x
Fantastic sight! Your family must be one of the healthiest around. Not just feasting on all those wonderful vegetables, they have to be harvested first which will need a lot of physical effort on your part too. Lots of exercise in the fresh air.
Oh wow Dave, that's so much, amazing. I wish I lived near you as I love veggies. Our garden is mainly landscaped so my hubby is in the process of making me veg planters and I've asked for 4, he may regret it as I may ask for more ha ha.
Beautiful! You are way ahead of us in Michigan. Just starting to pull a few radishes and spring onions. Lots of bloom on the cukes but nothing big enough to eat yet. Tomatos are blooming with small fruit. I make a lot of refrigerator pickles during the season. They keep for about a year in the frig. I love pickled beets and also a danish cucumber salad I've made for years. Don't can anymore although i have in the past.
The cucumber salad sounds intriguing. Is your recipe available?
The difference in weather from here to Michigan is amazing. We can start earlier I suppose. However I am sure your garden will burst once the weather is good.
Thanks. It was a bit of work but we were locked down so we worked on the garden with one of our sons. Now we are being rewarded by the wonderful produce that we have.
Enough for the summer and preserving for the winter.
You inherited a green thumb. Looks fabulous. What did your folks farm? I have too much competition from hungry wildlife to harvest anything. How do you keep them at bay?
I adore decorating my garden with flowers and various garden plants, but weeds, especially crab herbs, often interfere with this. This is one of the most persistent and annoying weeds. This is especially common on well-groomed home lawns and gardens. I planned to destroy this pest and found a great tool here grass-killer.com/reviews/be... This weed control formula does not contain cancer-causing chemicals. Does not contain glyphosate. The formula is made from ethanol distilled from corn grain. As a result, it is one of the safest publicly available mixtures on the market today. I sprayed the garden and now it makes me happy only with the lush bloom of my flowers, not weeds.
