I don’t know about you, but I love this time of year. The grass is green, the garden boxes are overflowing with produce and the weather for the most part is pretty stinkin’ awesome. Not too hot and not too cold. 
Although I haven’t been able to spend as much time in the garden this year as I would have liked too, it’s amazing too me how good everything still looks. 
Especially the Brussels sprouts and onions!
The tree of chard is still producing and the beets and kale plants and doing great as well. 
Here’s a view of the garden boxes from the back. 
Remember my lasagna garden? Well it’s been overtaken by potato plants. 🙂 
The greenhouse is my favorite part of my garden right now. The heirloom tomato plants are growing like mad and the basil is just starting to appear. 
The garden of shame. Weeds. Weeds. Weeds. should pull those.
And last but not least, the overgrown raspberry forest. One of these days I’ll get my act together and stake them properly.
How is YOUR garden doing these day?

Mavis,
Have your chickens clean out that weed space. Get some temporary fencing and put them to work on your yard. They will scratch, eat and clean that spot up in no time!

Did you plant the potato’s there?

My garden here in Georgia is coming together, but has some SERIOUS weeds. We have some of everything – Squash, Turnips, Green Beans, Carrots, Bell Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Garlic, Tomatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Strawberries, Blackberries and Blueberries – but the weeds are ruthless. Part of it is my fault because I have not been out there consistently (but I plan to change that), so I have been going out there regularly to mulch around all of the plants (newspaper topped with wheat straw). The goal is to smother most of those weeds and have a ‘clean slate.’ I would post new pictures on my own blog, but I don’t want to show the jungle, lol.

I’m just planting my garden today! It’s been pretty rainy here in the Northeast, and my garden plot is finally dry enough to work! I’m in on a lunch break now, but will be going out in a few minutes to keep at it because it’s supposed to rain tomorrow (good if I get all of my seeds/plants in, bad mess if I don’t!).
