Reminiscing leads to Spring fever

I was organizing photos today and came across some of our gardens in Stratford. Many of you have seen photos of our efforts from Kim's previous blog. This was our first, full-fledged vegetable garden. By no means am I a "green thumb", but just looking at them gives me a great sense of pride and accomplishment.

Beginning of the season. Looks quite pitiful actually. Those are my Brussel Sprouts started from seed in the back raised bed.

 

Tomatoes started from seed. Again, quite pitiful looking. Planted are heirloom varieties "Black Krim" and "Cherokee Purple", and "Mosaic" and "Sugary" cherry tomatoes.

 

Trellis's erected, Brussels covered to protect from Cabbage Moths and rows planted.

 

In the words of Emeril, "BAM"!!!!!

Garden Awesomeness!!!

Brussels galore. Although none ever made it to our mouths. The Cabbage Moths decimated our plants.

Beauty of a day last summer and a lady who is happiest riding the mower while listening to her Ipod.

Garden gnomes in the "Enchanted Garden". I love the look on Ernie's face!
