    Garden Porn...Raven's Grove style

    gardens2011 pictures by ravensgrovefarm - Photobucket

    Ok so I don't want to sit here all night doing photobucket. Here's a link to a handful of photos from this season. Most of them were at the height of growing season. At this point things are mostly gutted out, minus the front long rows which have fall root crops, cabbages, greens at this point.

    We have 3 primary garden zones here which I rotate yearly. Then two terraces with berries/grapes and two grow huts, one did peppers the other did tomatoes.

    I started adding crop pictures and then it locked up. I'll try later on, maybe tomorrow after feeding in the a.m. when there are less people online and see if I can add more all in that one album.

    We have a small year 2 orchard...one side fruits, other side nuts...we got one whopping apple LOL.

    We fed ourselves, and 8 families in a CSA. 1/2 paid and 1/2 bartered with labor. And I also gave alot to the foodbank.

    looks tasty. I wish the hailstorm hadn't killed most of my crop this year. Ironically though, I do have a current abundance of carrots and sweet potatoes....LOL

    I have to tell you, that is not what I was expecting given the title.

    Joking around aside, that looks fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. You must have a helluva garden.

    Backpacker: those huts are 8 x 12. We have 2 of them. My husband made them out of hog panels.

    Your plants look amazing! The produce was nice too but I'm really impressed with how healthy the plants look. Well done!
