The first trellis ended up with tomatoes and spaghetti squash growing up it. Several jalepenos and an okra plant are growing in front of the trellised plants.
A gourd volunteer from last year....I let it grow and has been one of the most productive plants in the garden. The three gourds here will add to the three I've already harvested!
Talking to the Academic Dean at Milligan one day (who is an avid gardener), he mentioned a fall crop of carrots. I thought that sounded awesome so Lily and I made this raised bed and planted carrot seeds in it this week. If you look closely, you may be able to see some of the plants emerging! Here's to fresh carrots for Thanksgiving dinner!
The Red Noodle! These took a while to get going, but have been prolific in the past couple of weeks. In the bottom right, there is an eggplant. This is a "trap crop" whose purpose in my garden was to draw all the flea beetles onto it instead of the other plants.....it has worked fairly well.
The area behind the trellis row....popcorn, melon, squash (spaghetti and butternut), and a rosemary bush that has been growing for about 3 years.
A couple of spaghetti squash actually growing on the ground.
Lily's cherry tomato plants.....including the "sun sugar" variety on the right (an orange tomato said to be "sweet as candy"....though Lily disagrees).
Some of the new gourds on the far end of the trellis.
Another variety of this year's gourds (harrowsmith).
Brussel sprouts....maybe on the menu for Thanksgiving as well?!?
The whole garden.
Inside the first trellis...jalepenos to the left, tomatoes to the right, and a giant spaghetti squash in the upper right. Lily and I finally had to tie it to the trellis because it kept slipping and knocking the tomato plants over.
A close-up of the trellised spaghetti squash....I guess there's a reason these are usually grown on the ground.
