Pictures

Here in the Denver area, it's already so hot. I'm sweating buckets at 8:00 a.m. when I water the garden! So, here it is, 11:13 a.m. and I've only worked on inside stuff. I think I'll water the garden tonight after Doug gets home. Right now, son is hungry and unfortunately, so am I.

Thought I'd post a few pictures.

First is a pic of the one filbert (hazelnut) tree - planted the "stick" in March 2008 - and this is what it looked like on June 08, 2008. Odd looking, isn't it?

Above is a pic of a small rhubarb plant - we got it in March from mother-in-law and planted in the tire the next weekend. This is a pic of it on Jun 17 2008. We've already taken our first cutting!

The below is the corn bed I started inside in flats on Memorial Day - "Early and Often" sweet corn, with string beans and various gourds & squashes (the "three sisters"). We planted them outside in these two raised beds (2'x4') on June 08 2008 - plus extra seeds. Covered them with yellow tulle fabric we had bought at a yard sale last year - a whole bolt for $5. The next pic is the corn bed about one week later (Jun 17 2008) - unbelievable!

I'll post more pictures when I can. Uh, if I can figure out how to do it better! Thanks for reading.... Vikki
