Tomato!

This is our first tomato sitting in a a bowl of red oak and green oak leaf lettuce. The only thing that will make this a perfect salad is when the cucumbers are ready.  Just a couple more weeks...

Corn

The stalks are actually less than a foot tall, but I liked this photo.

Awesome progress

This row of potatoes is doing extremely well. They were planted in early May. They survived a couple of weeks on again off again flooding.  I think what may have saved them is tilling between rows which left the rows somewhat raised as this is a new garden bed.  This was after a 20 year pause in gardening in that location.  I feel very fortunate given that some farms just 20 miles north in Burlington Vermont faced flooding five times this spring. 

Future Expansion

More garden space for next year.  I will add lots of compost, till that under, plant a cover crop, and till that under next spring.

Tomatoes - first ones

These tomato plants were started as seeds indoors on March 5. I started them way too early. They were indoors until late May.  Next year I will do an April 1st start so they will not be so overgrown in their pots before transplanting for the last time outside.

Potatoes

The potatoes are growing like weeds.

And so are the bugs.  (This one stopped growing soon after.)

Frost in June?

Yep, it can happen. It only got down to 37f (43 under cover).

Flood waters have receeded

...and it looks like a garden too.
