Backyard Garden Bounty!
We’ve started seeing awesome results from some of our backyard garden! Corn, jalepenos, onions, tomatoes, garlic – it’s all there and accounted for!
I say awesome results from some of our backyard garden because other crops have not faired as well… Chickens, I’m looking in your direction when I say our strawberries and broccoli have met an unfortunate, pecked-at-looking end. We planted artichokes, too, but while the plants have done well we haven’t seen any actual artichokes! It seems like our yellow tomato plant that’s right next to it may be leaching all the good nutrients from the soil, because it’s grown like a monster.
Our buddy Jay has pumpkins starting at his house and he has to thin em out soon, so we’re hoping to snag a few seedlings from him – here’s hopin’ we can have homegrown pumpkins by Halloween!

are those both yellow and sweet onions?
that they are! there’s a couple of red onions in there, too. it’s kinda funny, the planters in front of our place are really clay-ish, and we apparently didn’t break up the clay enough so the onions had some problems growing outwards… it resulted in more than a few deformed lookin ones!
Wow…you have some AMAZING veggies! Definitely a backyard garden bounty! I hope that when I have some actually ground to dig into next summer (and not just a potted garden like I have now) that my veggies will be half as nice as yours! 🙂 The corn! WOW! 🙂
omg that corn is freaking delicious, too!!!!
Awesome! I’m super jealous you have chickens. =)
