Dangerously organic!

I went to the garden yesterday and it was beautiful. That's Ron Chandler's circular patch above. Ron is in Thailand right now, I think. I just sent him an email this morning. Last we heard, he was stranded in the Bankok airport.

Here's a shot of some of Ron's broccoli.

A few weeks ago McRorie gardeners got together and buit a compost bin. Nice!

These greens are from Genie and David's patch.

This is my patch. You can see all the collard greens.

The urban mandalas were taken down when the fence was replaced. This is one I particularly like.

I spotted a couple of loofah's in the compost heap. Bruce grew them and I actually ate one when it was small. They taste just like zucchini when they're small. This picture shows how they dry and turn into sponges.

Here's Rachel's patch. Go to her page and see how it looked a couple of months ago if you're interested.

This is one of my favorite shots. I ran into Jon Trunk (hi, Jon!) and he explained that he and Blake had planted this patch with some leftover seeds and manure. It's a beaut, isn't it?

Here's another shot of my collard greens. They are a staple from my patch. Thanks, Shmal! (I inherited my patch from Shmal).

These are tomatoes in Ron's patch.

Mary gave me these bok choy as sprouts. She gave me 6 bok choy and 6 mesclun sprouts. About 4 bok choy survived and one or two mesclun remain. I was so happy to see them thriving! I've been away for Thanksgiving.

This is my prize daikon radish. It's going strong. I love it!

This is the view from the top of the daikon radish. I can't wait to do some cooking with the root.

Here are some more tomatoes around the perimeter of the garden. They are actually doing pretty well considering we've had 4 freezes this Fall.

How's your Fall garden doing? Full moon tomorrow night 1639 UT! And, the Geminids meteor shower begins Saturday.

I really enjoyed all of the pictures and comments. It makes me kind of homesick for gardening. I can't do any right now where I am. I've had many wonderful gardens and one small truck farm. In Colorado I grew Brussel Sprouts, Califlower, Brocalli, wonderful tomatoes, and many other things. My neighbor grew celery (which I had not seen grown before). I tried to do lentils but the season wasn't long enough.
