"Small Garden" Tour

This is the "small garden". We have not yet gotten the fence around this one, hopefully tomorrow. I am hoping to add 2 blueberry bushes soon to the center of this garden, and the vines should fill it up and climb the fence once it is there.

This is the L-shaped bed that has now been planted with (closest to farthest) 9 yellow crookneck squash, 4 sugar baby watermelon, 4 moon and stars watermelon, 6 amish muskmelon, 4 sugar pie pumpkin and 2 big max pumpkin. The wood you see sticking up behind is the potato bed.

Domestic blackberry, the largest of the three and is in the corner nearest the L-bed.

Second largest, in center of fence wall-to-be.

Smallest of the domestic blackberries, in corner near asparagus bed.

I didn't get a pic of the asparagus bed, at the end near the gate -
it is a long, deep bed that is showing no signs of asparagus yet! :(

This is the potato bed. There are about 7 vines coming up, I am going to add straw as they grow and hopefully be able to easily harvest the potatoes at the end of the season. I have never grown potatoes before, but hopefully this above-ground method works!

Next time there should be a fence and hopefully blueberry bushes, and some weeding done.
