Time for a garden update

My spot on the right, Lily's on the left
We are getting down to the final days of the season in our beautiful community garden. Above you can see that my spot has flowers (in the foreground) and tomato plants behind, lots of Siberian kale, and spent raspberry bushes. Lily's corn is finally begun to tassel. We were beginning to wonder when that might happen, and suddenly it showed up, so now we can begin to look forward to some ears to nibble on.
Garden mural and Lynn's garden spot
You can also see here that our pretty mural is still looking very good in our next-door neighbor's yard. Lynn decided to plant in raised beds this year, and she's got a nice little chair in which to enjoy our community endeavor. I think the community garden is one of the best things I've ever been involved with. I am now a seasoned gardener, with my fifth season wrapping up. This year, I'm learning all about tomatoes!

  1. I am so glad that the garden bug has bitten you. And love your community garden. I am not averse (at all) to home grown fruit and veg either. What are you planning for next year?

  2. What a great idea that garden was for the residents. So good for one's health in so many ways.

    My tomatoes are just beginning to ripen.

  3. That is one fine looking garden, it reminds me of the allotment gardens we have in England. Tended with care and pride, and adds to the dinner table with it's bounty. You have most definitely got a green thumb my friend :)

  6. It looks like you have a good set of tomatoes! They should continue to ripen through September.

  8. I still love that mural! Makes me smile every time I see it. Garden is looking great. Raised beds would be right up my alley, I think. Enjoy your tomatoes! :)

  11. I can't believe you are into your 5th season in the garden. You have done so well encouraging one another and sharing produce.
