    Default The Garden, Zone 5

    4 July 2011 The Garden. Zone 5 4 July 2011 The Garden. Zone 5

    The garden is doing well. Rain is required, but apparently there is rain in the forecast this week. The area is too large for hand watering except in exceptional circumstances. I do dispense the downspout rainwater when it is available.

    Produce that is now available is carrots, parsnips, beets, strawberries (finished), asparagus (finished), broccoli (finished0, cauliflower (finished). basil, parsley, celery, lettuce, and the odd tomato.

    I am in zone 5 also, but you are way ahead of me! Your tomatoes look wonderful, mine are just starting to bloom, cucumbers are only about 12 inches long. My garden is really slow this year.
    Pine trees, with their needles pointing up to heaven, represent everlasting light and life.
