It has been two weeks since I showed you what my lasagna garden looked like. There has been quite a change! One of the things I have discovered here living Life in the Foothills, is that you turn your back for one second, and wham-oh, what you saw yesterday is not the same as it is today!
I have been down to the garden on a regular basis. So what astounds me are the changes that I see in the photos. So here you go, and lets start with the corn. Here is the corn photo that I published on June 1st. The corn was about a foot tall.
Corn on June 1st
Today, this is what the corn looks like, and mind you it is starting to bloom! If I guesstimate correctly, it is now approximately 4 feet tall! Click on this photo to see the blooms marked at the tops of some of the corn stalks!
June 14th – My corn is in blooming
My tomatoes? I started with a packet of mixed Heirloom Tomatoes, now dubbed the mystery tomatoes because I have no idea what varieties I have ended up with, and will not know until they fruit. Here they were a couple of weeks ago.
One of the tomato plants – looking good!
The plants were so small that if I took a photo of all of them you would not see them against the backdrop of the earth. Here they are today!
My six heirloom tomatoes
The green beans were just hitting the fencing two weeks ago.
Green beans are starting to climb
Today they have filled in and more are climbing.
Green beans right on track
My peas were doing really well as you will see in the first photo, and I think the recent heat has negatively affected them.
Peas are developing
Peas do not look good
My melons, zucchini and squash? They are all doing amazingly well!

Huge plants!
Check out the baby acorn squash!

And this is not the only baby in the garden! Check out my first cucumber.

Onions that need to be weeded again too!
Radishes, which need weeding again

DUDE! It’s MAGIC!!!!! (Amazed when somebody can take seeds/seedlings and nurture them into actual LIFE and stuff!) 🙂 This from a woman who once killed a silk plant. (True story. Not pretty.)
I am so jealous! I threaten to start a garden every year, then I turn around and the season has passed. Come up to Bothell and help me start one!
Would love to! Do you get any sunshine? 🙂
ok, I’m 20 miles north of Seattle… you tell me.
Hee-hee! Been to your neck of the woods many times!
Go to the Home Depot – Grab one very large clay pot, and a tomato plant. If you can find Sun Gold buy it. It is a very sweet orange cherry tomato that will produce big time for you! Add a basil plant to the pot and you will have some good stuff to eat with a little balsamic and oil! Don’t forget the fresh mozzarella to go with it on a crusty toasted sour dough….Did I inspire you? 🙂
Two weeks can sure make a difference.
thats amazing! you must have a good soil, or can i say healthy soil? 🙂 extremely fertile garden you have there, except for the peas, they looked lovely at their ‘baby stage’ i read somewhere (dont know if its true) that peas are a cold-season variety 😦 love this post, thanks for sharing! 🙂
Go back in time on my blog to see how we put this garden together. It is called a Lasagna garden due to the layering of different ingredients to the bed. Thank you too for loving this post!
Nice job! Cool idea w/ the Lasagna garden. Good luck!
Thanks! And thank you for the comment!
