First row (starting on the left): onions from small bulb, strawberries.
Second: lentils.
Third: watermelon with flowers (stock and zinnias), carrots, Lima beans, dill, and sweet peppers planted between the hills.
Fourth: bunching onions, geraniums, gold beets, chickpeas, and volunteer potatoes (from tuber) spread throughout the row.
lentil close up.
watermelon close up. My foot is about a foot long.
My dad's favorite variety of late corn, NK199, he was real happy to find that the local seed store had it again after a decade or so of not having it. I had never heard of it.
First(on the left): pumpkin type squash.
Second: melons(crenshaw, cantaloupe, honeydew).
Third: more squash(spaghetti, butternut, banana, hubbard, cinderella pumpkin)
All row have various kinds of flowers in between the hills.
Tree mallow.
cumbers and snapdragons.
mixed beans
tomatoes descended from a plant that was labeled Moscow but was nothing like the internet description for that variety.
lettuce, chard, mix of red radishes, red beets, seed grown onions.
tomato flowers
Oats, carrots, parsnips.
Finished the first wave of shelling peas last week, typically that would be the end of them but this year we planted the peas under the edge of some fruit trees that are at the end of our garden, the afternoon shade has kept them from dieing back in the heat and they may yet produce more peas.
The peas in my brothers garden planted in full sun.
My peas (and some marigolds acting like weeds)
