June Gardens


Lavender lilacs

Ladybug on a foxglove leaf

Bountiful blueberry blossoms

Strawberry patch

Herbs, pea tipis, and perennial sunflowers

Expanded square foot bed with flowers, Delicata squash, cucumber, kale, snap peas, and cauliflower

A broader view of the new square foot bed - from this side you can see the cabbages, and some cosmos and strawberries in the new cinder block frame

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, chives, and bush beans

First broccoli harvest

Perennial path with colorful columbine just beginning to bloom

Perennial path leading up to the maple tree

A quiet, shady place under the maple tree with lipstick strawberries, hostas, columbine, and ferns

Jacob's Ladder in bloom

Volunteer columbine in the cracks along the walkway

Potatoes are growing well and have needed hilling up already; in the center is a Thelma Sanders sweet potato winter squash

Zucchini!  I wonder if I really should have planted three of them...

Lots of cherries

Pretty pink rhododendrons
