The September Garden



By now, the peas and beans have passed, and the corn and squash are still growing. I have my third crop of rhubarb at its peak, just enough for one more pie. The Swiss Chard is huge, and I have a few interesting tomato plants I grew from seed ready to put into the raised bed (I know it's terribly late, but I'm going to try it anyway!).


I had a couple of nice cucumbers, and the three varieties of tomatoes are thriving. They are sweet and orange-colored this year, and I wanted to try some smaller cherry tomato varieties. They have grown all the way up to the roof of the solar wood shed.






The whole garden is a riot of green growth, flowers mixed in among the vegetables, and a place that the bees still love for blooms.
