I wanted to start a picture thread where we can post pictures of our garden and the progress throughout the season.
I would love to see what everyone is doing. For now, I have some seedling pictures. These are actually from a few weeks ago, and everything is bigger and I also started cukes, basil, nasties, and some other herbs and flowers.
Tomatoes & peppers
Chard, kale, spinach, & lettuce
Thyme, romanesco (fractal broccoli !), and onions
...& my baby chicks, Enya, Ke$ha, and Tesla.

Excellent-- have never been excited by Hosta flowers, though-- it's the foliage that gets me all a-tingle.
I do have a need for something taller with some color-- I try Cannas there every year but find that a lot of the tubers purchased at the home improvement stores are duds.
Nice. Later in the summer we don't have much red (besides the hibiscus). I may have to look at that for next year.
Is that basil in the background? The stories about your many basil plants (and subsequent pesto) made us plant a lot of basil plants this year. So far we got about a quart of pesto, plus daily use out of it.
Yup, Basil. Way too crowded and has not received any attention whatsoever this year.
I can spare the entire container of Mexican Sunflower behind the one with the flower (10 plants?) it transplants fairly well, and I already have many spread about to other containers and in the ground.
H3 thanks. Our garden is completely full for this year. But if you have a few seeds left over, I'll gladly take a few for next year.
I'll post more pictures another day but for now gotta show off my edamame that are doing surprisingly well - pods form along the stem so they were hidden by the foliage for some time and I just noticed them yesterday- so cute and fuzzy! Plants are about 3 feet tall now and quite attractive. I don't know if they go on producing/living well after the initial harvest- anyone have info on this?
