My garden is gone

Jack frost came to Idaho, and now my garden is no more.

I was pretty busy this summer keeping up with my garden. I have 6 garden boxes that are 4x8. I wasn't sure what would grow, but a few things did really well.
I planted some small tomatoes. They went crazy. I was giving them away to anyone who would take them. My bigger tomato plants didn't do quite as well, because the neighbors sprinklers were hitting them. Yellow summer squash and zucchini did well. Green beans were good performers too. My pumpkin plant made two respectable pumpkins. The cucumber plant had beautiful leaves and blossoms but didn't start producing cucumbers til about 2 weeks before it frosted. Oh well. We'll try again next year.




I never put up pics of the garden during the summer, so here are some. It makes me kinda excited for next year's garden!

  1. I love all of the new posts! You garden looked awesome. Dang that frost! I agree, you'll be making some money off people who would pay to have chocolate when they're starving. I bet you didn't even think of your economic growth when buying those.
