5712 Vegetable Garden



The vegetable garden this spring and summer wasn't much to look at (wasn't much at which to look?)... We did, however, get a whole mess of string beans from vines around 20 feet long. More chard than we could eat, a substantial haul of carrots, some tiny broccoli florets on thick, tall stalks, enough butternut squash to share from the compost heap (and some nice compost) and a lot of fennel, basil, oregano and parsley. We got one sweet potato, a few onions the width of my thumb, and a handful of spinach.



Check out the squash mould I made using one of our drinking glasses. I stuck some young squashes in bottles as well but they didn't make it, they got greenhoused to a crisp.

Dumpstered Acrylic Sheets + Deconstructed Photo Stand = Coldframe


Finally decided to put the old photo stand to good use and quickly built a makeshift coldframe (just barely) ahead of the cold weather.
