Sisyphus Acres

More garden pics...

Later in the season...God blessed us with such great bounty from the garden this year!  In between the rows there is a deep grass mulch as you can see in this first picture...

Herte are the Paste tomatoes, ripening and spilling off the vines...we harvested about a full wheelbarrow full after the first killing freezes...some ripe, and some green...processing them as they ripen...

Here is the some of the spring crop of broccolli, some heading and some flowering off, with onions planted near to keep cabbage moths in check...

An here are some of the cabbages, 14 heads in all!  We planted point one (pointy heads) and some savy cabbage, more onions for the cabbage moths and brussell sprouts to the far left ~ now that frosta have arrived, brussell are in their growth spurt...

And the kidney beans drying on the vines...we got about 5 pounds of these total...looking forward to lots of chili!

And last but not least, the sunflowers!!!

YIKES ~ it's almost 10 feet tall !!!!  There's my father, showing it off...lol...he and my mom took pics of themselves next to the sunflowers to send to my sis in TX...me and dd haven't done that yet ~ there is a sunflower that got knocked over in a wondstorm, and then continued to grow, curl around and blosson, I plan to take my picture with that one

Well, hope you enjoyed this little tour of my garden...can't seem t locate any pics of the herb garden, I'll try to get some posted soon...

Wow that picture of the sunflower just made my mouth drop. That sunflower is so huge. I will have to show my son that picture. He made us plant sunflowers in our garden this year, but ours never even came that close to getting that big.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Val!
Loved the garden pics! I'm way behind in blogging and just about everything else these days.
Our Fall garden is off to a great start, and if we don't get an early frost I hope to get tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash in a couple of weeks!
Still haven't moved, so I go check on the garden every couple of days, I'll be glad when I can just pop out the front door to pluck a bit of spinach or chard, though. Hopefully soon!
Be sure and let me know when you are headed to Texas :)
Love,
Catherine
