So sorry I am so tardy in getting any blogging done. I just had to sit down tonight and
make time.
I have created these collages of my vegetable garden, to show many photos in as little space as possible.
I am rather proud of my efforts this year, as I am really reaping the benefits of all the hard work I did in the preparation and the growing of my garden. I can tell you, manure tea is wonderful, as you can see from the lush growth in the garden.

For a small 20x20 foot garden it produces way more than we eat, but we do like to share our abundance with friends. I do so love to grow my own as it gives me such a feeling of satisfaction, and I know we are eating the best tasting chemical free produce,

I understand busy, Jennifer. It seems that we all are. Your garden has been busy too--growing by leaps and bounds. Don't you love this time of year? I hope you continue to reap the rewards of your hard work. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Take care dear friend.
I can see you have really been busy Jennifer. Your garden is looking wonderful. I have the manure tea but keep forgetting to use it. LOL! I will never know how it works like that. It is hard work but as you say very rewarding. Have a lovely summer.
That is one productive garden! You have been busy and it is showing. How do you make your manure 'Tea'?You have a mix of different veg in each bed rather than one bed of one veg?
Peggy, the manure tea is very simple. I used about 4 cups of manure (chicken) in one of those zipped mesh laundry bags, tied it to the handle and dangled it inside of a 5 gallon bucket, which I then filled with water. Yes I did mix my veggies this year. I found a website which is all about companion gardening, and it seems to be working out just great, as you see by the abundance.
