My Jungles

First, let me remind you that there is siding work being done on the house, so it's looking a bit ramshackle in these pictures. Also, after getting half the yard mowed, the mower developed a problem again, so the yard is also looking kinda scrufty. Hopefully, it will be finished today.

Now, on to the gardens...

This was taken after I had already scalped the rhubarb, so they don't look like shrubs anymore. The jungle on the right is raspberry; the jungle on the left is horseradish.



The squash plants are just getting going. I wonder if our temps have anything to do with the slow growth?



Can you see the plants among the weeds?


And, of course, the ole horseradish...



The peas after I had cleaned them out. Tried a different kind this year; they put their growing energy into peas and not so much into foliage.



These are some raspberry plants I had to clear out so I could get to the peas. The berry plants are growing into everything.



Half of the peas I picked yesterday. This basket was full. Yummy!



Lotsa rhubarb



Now what's wrong with this picture? Dale is helping me get this jungle cleaned up--but he's wearing a winter jacket and it's July 2.



Another of my jungles...looking pitiful, isn't it?



Made big-time progress! (but still have a long way to go)

New salad garden--after it's been cleaned out.
