Our Garden
Here are some pictures of my husbands garden. This is Al, working around the Castor Bean Plants. They'll grow around 8 foot tall before summer is over. The Castor Beans themselves are very poisonous. They're actually used to make Castor Oil.
These are the vine plants: cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe and maybe a squash or two that came up volunteer. They're just getting a good start at growing.
Green Beans, lettuce and we did have spinach here, but the spinach is gone now.
We have lots of tomato plants. We've already had 3 tomatoes from the garden, small, but good.
I do a lot of canning, some freezing, eat lots of fresh veggies and sell extra to customers around town. It's hard work, but very rewarding.

Tell Al he has a BEAUTIFUL garden. You're so lucky to have such bountiful garden crops to enjoy throughout the summer.
