How Doth Thy Garden Grow…
For those who are interested, here are 6 photos of how my garden did this year. This first photo is a close up of my fountain ($20 for a pump placed in a bird bath — DIVINE!). I highly recommend fountains to everyone.
I was happiest with my watermelon (which was planted as an afterthought). I had run out of fresh cultivated soil but still had some watermelon seeds. I tucked them in among the perennials and they really took off! The one in the photo is about the size of a large grapefruit. It tasted delicious!
The Bean Harp didn’t do so well. Peas grew on it, and a grape vine (photo below), but the beans never really took off.
I think the reason the Harp didn’t do so well was because the trees I cut to make the Harp refused to die and kept sending off shoots like this one:
Finally, I was happy with my basil and cherry tomatoes — easy to grow and tasty!
