Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 17 and 18

I've been away from blogging about my lovely garden for a while but don't worry I have photos t5o share. It's getting closer to the end of the summer so we have been picking some veggies from the garden. I still have collards growing, cabbage, tomatoes, a cucumber or squash, peppers and an eggplant. I'm so excited because my mom has been using the vegetables in her meals cooking fried green tomatoes, adding them to salads and making cabbage.

Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 16

This is going on week 16 already. Time is sure flying by fast. It's so cool how this garden has grown and provided us with great meals free at charge and much more healthier. This was such an amazing way to spend my summer and to track the progress is even more amazing.

Week 16 wasn't an easy week. It encountered heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Irene when it touched basis on the east coast. The some of the stems on the tomato plants snapped or wilted over. People who grew corn, had corn stalks falling over. The plants did benefit from the rain because of the heat prior to the storm drying them out. Plus they were fed plant food earlier that week.

Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 14 and 15

Hey guys! It's been a while since I posted and I've been busy. Plus we have been receiving so much rain preventing me from taking photos of the garden. Since the last time we met, my mom has picked two cabbages and used it in a meal with rice and baked chicken. Delicious! Then we picked more collards, tomatoes and my first eggplant. We fed the plants plant food last week as well. We believe we have squash growing in plot 3 and another eggplant is growing in plot 2. But for the most part the garden is looking more radiant than ever.

Here's some photos:
