Luke's Garden

It's big.  It's growing.  The squirrels are still finding a way in - rumor has it that it is through the roof - but that isn't stopping Luke from collecting a bountiful harvest. Here's what it looks like.



*When you run out of room inside the garden, you just help the squash out of the garden and reach the fence. When the birds start to eat the green stuff, you help the plant back through the fence and into the garden.*


*Ruhbarb and basil.  There used to be "lettuce" in there too; it turned out the lettuce was just a very convincing weed.* 


*Squash.  Many different kinds.* 


*Strawberries.*


*Tomatoes. Luke got this plant as a gift when it was much smaller.* 


*Baby pomegranate plants.* 


*Baby kiwi plant.*


 *Tomato forest.*


 *Jalapenos.  These plants are the only thing in the garden that Luke bought as a plant.  Everything else (except that one tomato plant) he planted as a seed/root, even the marigolds (which help keep bugs out of the garden because they smell/taste so bad).*


 *Green bells peppers.*
