Most folks call it a vegetable garden.
most say this is a vegetable garden…
Others prefer to use kitchen garden.
some say this is a kitchen garden…
Me, well, for me I go old school; it’s a victory garden.
i love the smell of veggies in the morning…
Here at Totem Hall we let our freak flag fly and do our best to live the whole granola crunching organic lifestyle. Let’s see, for this year’s edition of my victory garden, I planted corn, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, basil, eggplant, tomatoes, watermelon, and, for the sheer heck of it all, potatoes. All are organic, with a big percentage of my garden being heirloom varieties. In case you’re curious, I do talk to my plants. Why not, it works for Zonker.
zonker’s down with it…
On solstice day, I had the first picks of the season. Yeah, yeah, I know the harvest should be earlier, but what can I say, I planted way too late, a victim of well, my tendency to do this or that before doing this or that.
in search of zucchini…
our first squash…
picking bush beans…
and the end result…

That is a great looking garden and a mighty fine hat! The solstice seems a fine time to start your harvest.

Well, thanks Jim, we have such an early start here, if I could get plants just a tad bit quicker in the ground, but, hmm, maybe the fall garden.

Wow you have such a nice garden! I would love to grow my own food and zucchini flowers are the best and very hard to find here unless you grow your own. Love them stuffed with cheese then fried.

You absolutely have to send me that zucchini flowers recipe; it appeals to two things I love the most when it comes to food, fried and cheese. Holy cow, I’m drooling just thinking about it!
