Late Summer Garden

We sure do get a lot of good food out of this little plot of land!  The zinnias add a burst of color nestled into the airy asparagus plants. Check out the tomato wall next to the asparagus, and the okra forest behind that.  Nitrogen rich soil produces monstrous plants, often at the expense of fruit production.  Luckily, we've been getting plenty of veggies.  The pole beans are climbing high on their string trellis behind the asparagus bed, and the bed behind that (in the shadows) contains the Jade bush beans.  The kale sprouts are just showing in the lower left corner of the picture.

From the other side of the garden you can see the two beds planted in greens ... one bed of salad greens, one bed of cooking greens. The Black Turtle Beans are growing adjacent to these beds.  Behind that, look for Lek's Long Beans, Thai and Sweet Basil,  a couple of hot pepper plants, butternut squash, what's left of the late crook-neck squash, the herb bed, and the berry beds.
