The moment has arrived! The much-anticipated mostly indistinct view from above!
Things are growing. Almost everything is in. There is room for another tomato and I will probably replace a few plants that just aren’t doing well. In the back, the potatoes are going bananas. I spent part of the day yesterday getting them hilled with lots of soil and I laid down the straw mulch. The lettuces have been great with only the arugula not doing well. It’s in an odd spot behind the peas and I thinned it yesterday to see if that would help. (While thinning I noticed a crazy infestation of some kind of weird, small, round bug.. not good.)
The beans… well, they got in the dirt when it was too cold. Germination has been slow and small. I’ve got more beans ready to go and later today they’ll get replanted.

I don’t know why, but I always love aerial views. Mine aren’t nearly as nice since I’ve been using row covers.
That does look wonderfully satisfying.
And a lot different from earlier in the year.
You must be feeling very proud.

Love your nice and tidy garden!
Daphne, me too! I like to watch plots change over time. Skippy’s Vegetable Garden is the best I’ve seen at doing that. Love it.
Esther, it has been pretty satisfying! Now we’ll just have to see what gets killed off, eaten by pests or blown over by wind!
Hi Ferne… thanks for coming by. Gardens always start off tidy don’t they? Just watch.. mine will be a tangle of tomato arms before long.
Your garden has everything! Lots of room, a sturdy fence… wow. Good job!!!!!
Isn’t it amazing how fast things grow? It seems like yesterday that you were pondering your giant dirt rectangle.
They do grow quickly. But, beneath it all, my beloved dirt rectangles are always there!
