Urban Gardening

The Garden, Early June, 2010
My garden. In the first bed, there's strawbeeries, done for the season, alas, and peas, which I can't wait for!; in the second bed, assorted beans, cukes, both pickling & regular, canalopes & pumpkins. The third bed holds spinach and the most productive crop of spring greens I've ever had. I pick, and it's back to being full the next day. Amazing. And then there's the topsy-turvy post, with heirloom romas and brandywines, and basil on top. The blackberry bush at the end of the strip is pleasantly full of blossoms and little green berries. I'm looking forward to pies and preserves.
I wish I had more room - I'd plant an herb garden, and rows and rows of corn, and more tomatoes, and more of everything I can preserve or freeze. And I want a chest freezer, too. And a goat and some chickens. And a farm hand to take care of it all, because who am I kidding, I don't even really weed the little bit I've got now. Oh, but there are dreams, and maybe I'll win the lottery.
