The Garden (Chapter 2)

After C worked herself to the point of complete exhaustion and moved all (most) of the dirt into the beds, we spent a Saturday planting the plants and sowing the seeds. I think that it is one of the best gardens I have ever seen and it has been really fun and exciting to spent time out there on the weekends. This weekend will be spent cleaning up the paths and weeding the rest of the yard that has been a little neglected. I don't have very much time...what can I say. The above photo shows globe artichoke, tomatillo, edamame, corn and a patch of brocolli seeds.
This is where we planted our lettuces, arugala, and brussel sprouts all intersperced with radishes.

This is the climbing bed filled with purple hyacinth beans, scarlet runner beans, climbing sqash and rosemary.
This is the view from my bedroom window.
The plan is to put a table and chairs in between the triangle beds. Once we get the paths done and the plants start to take over, this is going to be where I eat all of my meals.
