2010 Vegetable/Herb Garden - Late May Photos

Shown below are the four raised beds I use for my annual vegetable garden.

We’re on our fourth year using these beds.

Some of the pieces are starting to fail.

In 2011, I’ll likely have new beds to play with.

The bed to the left of the vegetable garden is our main flower garden.  We have iris, peony, daffodil, day lily, sedum, phlox, and a few others in there.

This bed provides some height and color from the street thus hiding the garden a bit.

Southeast.

This bed contains tomatillos, tomatoes,

peppers, onions, basil and parsley

Southwest.

This bed contains tomatoes, onions,

basil, parsley, swiss chard, beans,

leaf lettuce and peppers.

Northwest.

This is the herb bed.  Dill, thyme, basil,

rosemary, sage, tarragon, oregano,

parsley, and cilantro

Northeast.

This bed contains tomatoes, peppers,

eggplant, cucumber, broccoli, leaf lettuce,

head lettuce, and peas.

Buds on the tomato plants on May 30th!

A rare event for Wisconsin.  Usually my

buds show up in mid to late June.

Multi-color leaf lettuce.  So far so good

with the rabbits!

Head lettuce.  The heads that were

chopped by the rabbits are coming back

strong.  I’ll have to put a fence around this

section soon.
