The month of September is a time that is all about enjoying the fruits of Summers labor. Here I would like to share with you the before and after photos of the changes in my garden. I buy no plants or starts. Everything I grow is from seed. Many are started in the Greenhouse.
June on the deck is very bare looking but by August the flowers are blooming.
I also mix some flowers and vegetables in containers on the deck.
Finally a look at the Garden
Due to my cooler nights my garden is very slow growing. I use companion planting and can have one vegetable found all over the entire garden. I love the effect and naturalness of mixing it all up and flowers here and there.
Here is a corner part of the Garden where 2 previous beds had been combined into one. Most my beds are raised 4 foot wide.
Aside from the soil that has only organic matter added to it, we keep a drum of manure tea always near by for extra boosts during the summer. After harvesting potatoes the chicks get a special treat of exposed worms.
Now lets look at the progress in the Greenhouse.
Late April I start seeds in the Greenhouse. June tender plants remain till after frost.
I hope you enjoyed the growth in my garden and greenhouse.
With organic gardening it is a labor of love
Love of the earth, love of our bodies
and
Love of the natural beauty God gave us.
