My Vegetable Garden

By Hazel Holland

Here's some pictures of my thriving vegetable garden that I've been working on this summer.  It looks like a  jungle of pole beans, bush beans, summer squash, zucchini squash, sugar snap peas, carrots, cabbages, onions, chives, cucumbers, acorn and butternut squash, rhubarb, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, kale, strawberries, etc.  The huge tomato plants are not visible in these pictures.  I must have taken them with my i-phone instead of my camera.

All of the vegetable were planted from seeds, except the tomatoes, cabbages and rhubarb.  At first I thought they were never going to grow, and then suddenly they took off with the hot weather we had in August.  Using soaker-hoses and putting in a drip system really made a difference in my garden this year!

 I made this archway out of pruned cherry and apple branches! 

 Pole beans, cabbages, beets, carrots, cucumbers, etc.

 Yummy raspberries!

 Sunflowers, marigolds, Virginia creeper, and veggies.

Carrots, cabbages, beets, beans, zuchinni squash,

 spinach, broccoli, sunflowers and marigolds.

Raspberries, grape vine, acorn and butternut squash, 

rhubarb, cauliflower, and more marigolds.  That wooden
