I will gladly trade some of our 68f weather for a little (not a lot) of your warmth.

Here are some pictures of what is growing:

We've had pretty good luck the first two season. The garden spot gets sun most of day so the garden is on the grow. 4'x16' with new 12' and 8'. The soil in my neighborhood is modular dirt (glacial rock) so we've gone with raised beds. I'll till down a couple inches to the modular dirt and then bring in built up garden soil. (pun intended )

This isn't a vegetable garden but I wanted to share. There is a flower garden near my office. I try to walk past daily if I am able. The garden is actually a large sundial and is sectioned off by the rays of the dial.


The garden is designed to attract pollinators so the plants are mostly indigenous and the flower blooms are staggered throughout the summer.



There is an American Agave in the greenhouse behind the garden in the photos. The plant is over 50 years old and started growing a stalk this spring. Panels from the roof had to be removed for the stalk. It is now over 20 feet tall.


The pant will die when the bloom ends.

That looks like the U of M arboretum that had the same type of plant. The one in Ann Arbor bloomed last year before it's demise.

Very first things out of the garden, heading to the Dinner table tonight


Some Blue Lake Bush Beans, and Spinach leaves

Looks good, I'm still waiting on my spinach. Only thing up so far are tomatoes & potatoes.
