My organic backyard garden, nutritious food from the earth

  I spent Sunday afternoon watering and picking some things that have ripened, like peas, lettuce and berries. This is my second post with pictures and some updates of food growing in my garden.

 The onions are filling out nicely right on schedule. I learned to plant them shallow and bend over the greens to help get larger bulbs.


 Celery is doing great pretty much all on it's own.


 Some basil growing inside a row of cinder blocks next to the kale and potatoes.


 Zucchini growing rapidly, one or two should be ready in a week or so.


 Rhubarb is healthy and strong this year, already have several bags chopped and frozen.


 I have several different peppers growing this summer. Jalapenos, red peppers, green peppers and some unnamed "hot" peppers which have all mostly started to flower.


 What garden is complete without tomatoes. These won't be ready for a couple weeks yet but there are lots on the way.


 The cucumbers are getting very close to ready to pick. These vines will produce fresh cucumbers for months.


Updates

 The broccoli is continuing to grow larger and...


 ...it continues to broccoli after you cut off the main head. You rock broccoli, I'll call you rockoli.


 The cabbage has formed some nice firm heads and will be ready for harvest soon.


That's all for now, thanks for taking a look and please stick around for more.
