General view

Seen from the corner closest to the house. The bird house has a pair of wrens setting up house keeping in it at present.

End facing the road farthest from the house

See the labels to identify the various veggies growing there. The big tree is a Bradford Pear.

From the back of the garden plot

The house in the picture is that of our next door neighbors, the Williams family. The individual crops are labeled.

A wider view of the rear of the plot

Showing most of the plants along the back. The central raised section contains a total of eleven tomato plants. There are Rutgers, Better Boy, and Park Whoppers.

The Side of the large utility shed

The potatoes are planted in old truck tires. The Fig tree was grown from a cutting the size of a walking stick two years ago. It has about two dozen figs on it already this year.

Potatoes and Irises

At the rear of the master bedroom. Grandma planted potatoes anywhere she could find some spare room in a flower bed.

Herb garden

These three large flower pots are our main herb garden.

More potatoes

These are by the door to our sun porch.

Shelves for the home canning

With all the canning grandma does, we needed some good shelves, so we built them and installed them in one of the clothes closets.

One month later

June 4. That's Ben. He's 8 years old. I put him in the picture to help with a little sense of scale.

Here's Ben in among the zucchini plants.

Mercifully we only have three of them. We have to harvest them twice a day!

Just an idea of how big the leaves are.

Here's a real close up of the zucchini leaves.

These might be the Summer squash.

So, Ben with zucchini and squash in front and tomatoes behind him.

Ben decided he had done enough and left, but you got the idea.

This is the end with the pole beans and one of the cucumber plots, on the trellis at the left.

A wide view of the back side of the plot.

Spinach and radishes all gone. Mustard greens too. The beets are on the left, celery toward the middle and snap peas to the right. The middle zone is all tomatoes.

This is the second cucumber patch -- three plants, at the end near the house.

This shot is looking up into the Bradford pear tree, and, yes, that is cucumber vine with blossoms you see.

Stepping back from the previous picture to put the climbing cucumber into perspective.

You can see the blossom towards the upper middle of this picture.

Snap peas sort of hunched over because they got so tall before they showed their first blossom, now they produce blossoms and pods fresh every day.

A few onions nearer in the corner, and potatoes just behind them.

The view from our driveway. It's no wonder our neighbors call it the jungle!
