By the first of June, the tomatoes were looking healthy in the beds. This one’s a Brandywine, heirloom variety.<\/p>\n

So were the purple tomatillos. These would eventually become the giants of the garden.<\/p>\n

Dinosaur Kale was looking healthy as well. Nothing really fazes these guys.<\/p>\n

More greens were coming up, these ones rainbow chard. Their run of good health was a short one, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

Here I’m either weeding or planting something. Or more likely… thinking.<\/p>\n

The cucumbers were perking up. A little rogue cilantro found its way into the mix. Great to have around, but I’ve never seen a plant go to seed so quickly.<\/p>\n

A few days later, I spotted eggplant blossoms on the way. These\u00a0are such lovely plants, with uniquely shaped leaves and purple veins running through.<\/p>\n

Actually… these may have been the only two individual plants in the garden that I bought seedlings for, as we lost almost all of our seedlings to damping-off. So they may have had a head start. In the end, several of our seedlings did pull through to join these guys. Other than that, our many dozens of other vegetables are\u00a0plants we propagated from seed.<\/p>\n

By this time in the season, the southwest corner was thickening up menacingly with growth, foreshadowing its future state of Amazonian jungliness. The corner was home to tomatoes, tomatillos, cucumbers, and a few herbs. We put up stakes, but the jungle laughed.<\/p>\n

The garden was become a darned\u00a0nice place to hang out.<\/p>\n

A neighbor invited us up to check out the tomatoes on his top floor deck. We took a shot of our place from his point of view. He probably thinks we’re crazy, digging around in the dirt all day. I don’t blame him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
