How Does Your Garden Grow? Update on Gardener Ted's Garden

Hello and Welcome to the J.Q. Rose Blog!

Gardener Ted's garden

This week I thought I'd update you on the  garden. However, by the time you see these photos, the produce may be ready. I'm posting these pictures a week early because  I'll be recovering from eye surgery this week.

Please enjoy a walk through Gardener Ted's garden. Yes I'm probably boasting a bit about it and I hope you'll forgive me, but he does such a wonderful job. If only the veggies didn't appeal so much to the deer, ground hogs, and rabbits too! He's been fighting them all season, just like every year.

Take a peek at what's about ready to appear on our dinner table.

Do you call this cantaloupe or muskmelon?

Ear of sweet corn

Ripening tomatoes

Tomato plants are tied up to a fence--vertical gardening. No need for tomato cages.
You can spy the ripening tomatoes in the photo above centered at the bottom of the picture

Ted planted calendula flowers around the front garden fence. Once they started blooming, they really took off and filled in well. I like to cut them for bouquets, but they are kind of sticky to work with after cutting.

Calendula line the front of the garden.
