Mom and Dad's garden

This is the lower terraced area, and the other section of the garden is above this plot. In this photo you can see green beans that they are training to grow along this piece of fencing. Plus, there are some tomato plants and I think squash and zucchini in this area.

My Dad has really been enjoying gardening over the past few years! There was a time that this land had become over grown, but with the help of our Mennonite friends who tilled it all up with their tractor and bush-hog, it is not a great place for growing vegetables again! They used to plant a garden up here when I was really little, but then stopped for a little while because I guess life got kind of busy with us two kids! Now, in their retirement my parents are enjoying the fruits of their labor in the garden once again! It's great exercise, too!

On the way up to the garden plots, Isaac enjoyed looking at some pretty wild daisies!

Cabbages!

My Mom is going to see Buddy, their pet kitty, who also enjoys playing in the garden!

Cauliflower!

Here you can see the potatoes and lettuce they are growing, some broccoli, and in the distance are some green beans and a couple other varieties of vegetables.

Purple cabbage and potatoes . . . and Swiss chard, which was struggling a little . . .

This is one of the two plots of land they grow their garden on. The other plot of land is just below this one, separated by a strip of brush and small trees. It is set up kind of like two sections of a terraced hillside.
