This Year's Garden . . .

Will not get out of control!

(check the 4th pic down in last year's Garden Talk,

 that will NOT be happening this year!!)

This year . . . 

 The summer squash will elegantly glide up these large bamboo poles.

 The sugar snap peas will creep up these skinny dowels.

(unless summer gets too hot, I started them a little late)

 The tomatoes will coil up their squiggle stakes.

 The cucumbers will march up their trellis.

The morning glories will stay contained in this box (HAHA) and cling to the fence.

 The pole beans will cover this tee-pee frame and make an edible tee-pee for the kids.

(4th pic down in the link above are pole beans, they took over last year so I stripped the aging canvas cover off this tee-pee and decided to grow on it in my sun garden...which certainly does not very lovely in this pic, ah well)

 This year I will get a tomatillo plant to bloom and produce fruit.

Well, that's a fine how-do-ya-do!  Upon Googling, "is a tomatillo a fruit?" to link us up here, I've gone and learned that these are highly self-incompatible plants and really need two or more plants together to pollinate and produce fruit!  I really think I bought one singular plant last year, why would they even sell just one plant???  Well this year I have four, two are together right now and I better move the other two nearby if I want some action! (-:

 So that's that. 
The garden is up and running again this year. 

 I also have cilantro growing in the round, black pot in the bottom left of this pic, green onions growing in the two rectangular green boxes at nine o'clock in the frame, my mini strawberry patch is in front of the cabbage (Harrison's 3rd Gr project) in the middle box as is a brussel sprout plant that survived this year's weak winter (and after not producing any sprouts last fall it better have a big show this year), and a few tomato plants.  I have a patch of asparagus to the right of the cilantro pot out of the picture frame, swiss chard in the nearest and farther boxes and another shot this year at eggplants after last year's weak results (2" eggplant didn't really cut it).  I think that's everything...oh yeah, just threw in a pepper plant from my MIL (rarely have success with those but I'll try again) and I'm hoping to put a couple bush bean plant seed in really quick (like tomorrow!!!).
