Those of you who are completely uninterested in gardening are going to have to excuse me because I have more garden photos to share. When you have had a few
years of gardening disappointment, you really appreciate a flourishing garden. These (woefully smudged) photos were taken in late June. We garden in zone 5.

I find pumpkins to be a fascinating plant. You can almost see it grow right before your eyes.

| It didn't take long for the pumpkin to sprint up the trellis. |

Our tomato and pepper plants are getting so tall and extremely bushy. They are setting fruit like crazy. I can't wait for those first ripe tomatoes!

| Peppers in the foreground, Brandywine tomato in the rear. |

The potatoes want to take over the world. You can see a bit of the green beans
in the foreground. That bug repellent really works! |
The blackberries are slowly turning pink.

| "Triple Crown" blackberries |
Now that you have seen our garden this year, take a look at these photos I took on June 26, 2010.
 |
| Our first square foot box of beans; cucumber, canteloupe, and watermelon hills; peppers, and tomatoes. |
 |
| The most pitiful stand of corn in the Midwest. Our blackberries are tiny, too. |
Same climate, same gardeners, many of the same varieties of plants. I'd say square foot gardening has made a remarkable difference, wouldn't you?
How is your garden doing? Any successes or failures to report?

You have a nice garden and a beautiful piece of property. I square foot garden down in Georgia, but don't have near the setup as you. I look forward to following your blog.

Hello, I am new to your blog and also new to prepping. I hope to follow your blog. I do have a couple of suggestions. Try asparagus due to being a perennial and rhubarb also. Check out global buckets also. I had good success with that strategy. Thank you.
