July gardens

The gardens in July.

This is the corn on May 28.

And here it is in July.

Definitely as high as an elephant's eye.

The corn is an heirloom, non-hybrid.

The strawberries are covered with fencing.

That has bird-netting over it, and it drapes into the walkways.

It is easy to trip over.

In the foreground are this year's raspberries.

Beyond the dog is another garden with beans, watermelon, amaranth, chard, kale, mangles, beets, cucumbers.

The grape arbor frames the entrance to the first garden.

The far fence has beans on it. In front of the beans are tomatoes.

Beyond the fence is the strawberry/raspberry garden.

Standing under the arbor, straight ahead are a row of peppers.

Then a row of swiss chard and kale.

Against the fence are beans.

Tomatoes are in front of the beans.

Beyond this fence is the strawberry garden.

Looking back at the arbor.

To the right are peas.

Straight on is spinach, with lettuce, and a couple of tomatoes.

This is a great year for onions.

You will see garbage pails dotted in the gardens.

They hold water pumped by hand from the well then carried to the pails.

To the left of the arbor is the asparagus garden.

The asparagus is eating the lilies

Everything is being grown organically.

Most seeds are started at home from heirloom seeds.
