... going to seed for next year

Rick on Vivian Street gave us some raspberry plants this year, and we got a fairly good crop off of them. 2011 garden pics

with herbs in front, stocks behind, sunflowers & squash to the left.

Bought 50 lbs of potatoes from neighbour "Tony Tomato" last fall. This spring the shoots were 8" long, potatoes themselves were getting soft, so I planted them early. There was not much summer to speak of, we're in mid-August, and 2 weeks ago we harvested 18 lbs from the 18 or so potatoes we planted. And, we found a couple more today and suspect there are more still to find.

This is from a planter in the front yard. Planted Buttercup (kabocha) squash, got something looking like a "D"-cup. It should've all been green. It was delicately flavoured, had a greenish ring around it, and smelled like a blend of squash and melon. Ate it 2011/09/08.

Our first time having bell peppers grow & ripen. Sweet, crispy, and juicy! Considering the lousy summer of 2011, it's remarkable.

Some northern flicker birds visit our feeder. Notice it's looking at the camera in the top left image!
