A Garden Pic

Ok, several of you have posted lovely garden pix, so I thought I'd share mine. This is my veggie garden. I made willow hurdles from material growing on the farm and hubby installed them. The dogs still run amok through it, lol.

Love it! What are you growing?

I live on a farm. I do not have a picturesque garden. I do not have willow hurdles. I don't even have a dog. I'm feeling a little inadequate right now ...

Love the fence.

Wow, beautiful! How hard was it to make the fence? I've got big garden plans for this new house... Probably will construct them all this fall in preparation for spring planting (I have a small greenhouse that I will finally get to use for a whole season)

Thanks guys. The willow hurdles are easy to make, just 2 foot by two foot. My wild willows here are a sort of bush variety, so the branches aren't very long, but perfect for short two or three foot segments. The tricky part is wading through the tall grass to find the willows at this time of year, lol (should have collected a whole bunch in early spring when the grass was down and the wet spots were still frozen.)

And Clover: you may not have a garden, but we're a farm without farm critters. Maybe chickens next year. The garden has climbing beans, bush beans, carrots, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, and squash, all with varying degrees of success ....Mal

Oh, I would love that! We grow tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash, pie pumpkin, corn and basil every year. And the critters love us for it.

Oh my goodness, I have such a love of hurdles. Yours are beautiful.

I'm eating my heart out, because I have no raw materials with which to make hurdles, living as I do in teh middle of the city.
