Gardening Wiregrass Style

I have planted a garden every year since we've been in this house. And every year we get a little of this and a little of that. Well this year I had a long chat with the owner/operator of a local farm. Oh boy, the things I learned. Gardening in South Alabama is NOTHING like gardening in Oregon. But...I may be getting this whole "wiregrass gardening" thing figured out.

This was the plan.


Fill these containers with plants that would produce food.


We even added a garden bed this year.


We planted....and so far things are looking good :) (we even "had" to put in a second bed)


Behind me...those are tomatoes.


Yes, they are taller than me :)


Blueberries have gone from this


To this

Mmmmmm


EG heard there were more green beans ready for "harvest"


The potted herb garden is doing really well.


We also have several different kinds of herbs stashed all over the yard. We've mixed them in with the azaleas, roses, and iris along with cantaloupe, watermelon, and more tomatoes.

Cantaloupe :)


Onions


Squash


And my tomatoes....well some of them


Ahhh and you may not be able to eat it but my hummingbirds can. The best it's looked since we planted it.
