Today I thought I'd post some pictures of my not-so-secret back garden. Last weekend the DH, DD, DS and I planted a few vegetables. I wanted to plant tomatoes for the longest time but with a only a front yard (I'll show photos of that later) and not much back with this stone wall I had no clue where to put the veggies.
Well, Nana came over and being the Southern woman that she is she knew just where to put it. After being merciless with one of my plants that she said just "had to go" she had the bright idea of planting the veggies in front of the stone wall. We now have tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, squash and peppers planted. We'll see what takes. I'm looking for collard greens to put up the hill in that barren spot but can't find them. Our local place was all out last weekend. Who know they would be so popular in Scarsdale?
Are you The Mole? The new season starts Monday night on abc. I'm going to give it a go. I like trying to figure out stuff like that. See these rocks covering that big hole. We don't have mole but we've got a pretty big and scary groundhog that's driving me and the DH crazy. Ugh! I hope he or the deer don't eat my veggies.
Best,
Kwana

You can always buy the seeds and they germinate very quickly and then plant. Seeds are also a great way to save. I do think I saw some collard greens at Carlsons. I will look for you! Have you seen the blog "Collard Green Queen?"
Thanks Patricia. I'll check out Collard Green Queen and please check Carlson's for me. I don't know where they are?
I love veggie gardens - and your's looks so nice as part of the landscaping. While my parents were visiting, we put in some tomatoes and peppers. Other than that, I grow a lot of herbs in pots.
I'd love to try some herbs, Kristen but then I'd have to cook more!
I'm going to start shopping for vegggies at your house pretty soon.
Anytime, Eileen!
Garden looks great all lined up in front of the wall. Our first two tiny tomatoes have just emerged.
Sounds lovely Notting Hill! I hope I have your green thumb.
oh good for you planting veggies! honestly i have been doing it for two years and the ones you harvest just taste so much better than anything at the grocery produce! its alll that loooooveeee!!
Can't wait to see the progress!
We have a radish, growing in a plastic cup on the windowsill, from O's school. Once the deck comes down...I'm planting!
Thanks mommytherobot!
N, I can't wait to see your garden.
