The Container Garden Takes Over

Mary planted a container garden this spring.  Actually it's quite a bit more than that this time, and it has already produced edible food, much better than what I was able to do with my feeble attempt last year.

She has yellow squash, eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers going.  So far, we've harvested squash and eggplant - I grilled some of these over the weekend.  The tomatoes are coming along, probably will have a few ready by the end of this week; I'm not sure about the peppers.

These crops are in the space where our beautiful green wall of leland cypress used to be.  They were casualties of the 2010 winter storms - the snowpocalypse.

Mary visited some neighbors the other day, and they had okra plants to spare...so they gave her six of them.  She planted them at the end of the row, as shown here.  And there's our doggie!
