Vegetable Garden Planted

Last weekend we planted the vegetable garden.

before

Three tomatoes, a red pepper, three basil, two zuchinni and in the back a row of sunflowers from seed.

week one

After the first week I had to use snail bait. We haven’t had any sun to speak of. Usually we plant and love the garden until it begins to produce and then we go out of town, it gets over grown and we lose interest.

The sunflower seeds were saved from the sunflowers with the largest heads from 2007 and 2006. For about a decade I have been replanting each year with seeds taken from the largest flowers from previous years. This behavior falls into the “why ask why” category.
