I find the early morning hours to be the best for simple cultivation with the garden hoe and this morning was no exception. Using the row of soon to be picking lettuce as a reference, in front of that is a row of bush beans just emerging and up against the fence in the foreground are sugar snaps just starting to climb the fence. Just beyond the lettuce is zucchini. Just past that you can make out the next crop of lettuce (red leaf) just forming a row.
Up against the fence to the left, are my shishito peppers (still quite small) and to the right are an assortment of red bell, jalapeno and habaneros and yes, green bell haters, there are some green bells as well (we both like stuffed peppers on occasion.
Assorted tomatoes, I put in a few extra for fried green tomatoes, a taste we both acquired in NOLA.
Here is a row of pickling cukes.
Here is what I call the auxiliary cucumber patch up against the house. Lifting that big rock to the bottom
left is what caused me to need dethatched retina eye surgery.
The garden fence is something that I put up each season, because it is not unusual for deer to wander through the yard. Here is my little orchard. One morning I looked out the window to see three deer, two of which had both their front feet up in the pear tree in the foreground.
