My Garden, Part Two

Here are some pictures and details about my initial planting. I’ve added a few more things since then, but that will be in Part Three…

Honeydew! Yum…

I’m inordinately excited about growing my own corn. Not sure why. It just seems so…rural!

Red, yellow, and green bell peppers. I’ve since spaced them out better, and lost a couple.

Tomatoes: Plum, grape, pear…how funny, I never noticed that they are all fruit-named. Oh and also Beefsteak and Celebrities.

More corn! Plus Japanese eggplant, purple bell pepper, and a jalapeno.

Artichokes (2), a pickling and a regular cucumber. Also planted are seeds for carrots, watermelons and pumpkins.

Strawberries! They’re much prettier these days…

Italian parsley, thyme, and oregano

Rosemary, mmm…I could wear it as a perfume…

Genovese basil. I’ve since planted seeds all around it. Can’t wait for pesto (vegan, of course)!

Forgot about this one! A very sweet friend of mine gave me these trellises (plus two more), so that I can grow pole beans! Here you can see how I spaced out my peppers better, so that I could plant the green bean seeds along the trellis. The few seeds planted by the center one didn’t take very well, so I’m thinking of pulling the couple that did and planting the long bean seeds I bought. Ever seen those? They’re incredible!

Wow, this post has really brought to mind a couple of amazing things. First off, I’ve planted a LOT more, not just a few more, since these were taken, and secondly, holy moly am I a terrible photographer. I mean sheesh, take a few minutes for composition! I’ll try harder next time.

But before that, I’m going to post a recipe. I’ve been wanting to make Alicia’s Peanut Butter Cups from The Kind Diet, but I’m having a heck of a time finding truly vegan graham crackers. Do you know how difficult it is to find graham crackers made without honey? I haven’t been able to. So I’m going to make my own, and share the recipe with you. See you then!
