Call Any Vegetable

A few recent snapshots... Our garden plot @ one week. From the left-lettuces & chard, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, beans, corn, brussels sprouts, kale, and pumpkins. For now!
Pepper(Sweet yellow-we still need jalapeno and habanero!)
Lettuces


Oh, and that's a 1948 Ford Tractor. Just to mix it up. I took this while up at my friend's land in Bonny Doon last week. We were hanging around up there before the Dead show.

Our plot's about that big, but not nearly so nice looking. I dig the tractor! From google maps satellite photos, Bonny Doon looks the bonny place. Never been there m'self.

The person in the background looks like they are floating in the air above the tractor!

Garden looks great. I planted a little bit of veggies, but 2 new apple trees and 5 bushes! Hope all is good with you.

Peace.

Great garden

You got all you need right there. There's a community garden my friends are attending, I guess I could get in on that. They're having some serious bug problems though. And it's right next to a ______ facility. (You don't wanna know)...so I guess I'm not sure if I wanna get in on that...

it's funny how 'lonely' they look at first...then BOOM the bed is overflowing. My eggplants have taken off, as have half the beans. The other half of beans got slimed! Rutabega!!!!

Is the plural of "lettuce" "lettii?"

Anne said...

the man always says "lettuces"
if you could hear the way he says it, you would think it's as adorable as i do.

Jennifer said...

I say "lettuces," too, unless iceberg is the only variety, in which case I say "crap."

Your soil is to die for, Annie. I'll be working YEARS to get mine half that rich!

Please, please,please: another pic 4 - 6 weeks from now?

:-D
