Canadian Gardening: The joys of veggie gardening at a community plot, 1 by echoes

No community gardening here, but it does sound like fun. I would probably get things done more efficiently if my garden was a destination.

I can't remember which potatoes I grew this year. I just bought a box of some red ones at the garden center and planted a few small Norland? from last year. I confess I still have to dig about half of them. A few more carrots to pull and beets if I get around to them. Not growing beets anymore. So silly, growing them and not using them, although it's a very small row.

I'm not as big into the veggies as I was a few years ago. I have a couple of box beds that I used for lettuce, carrots, grean beans, snap peas, onions, shallots, garlic, cucumbers and sometimes a few others. Tomatoes and potatoes go into the old garden section that is being taken over with roses and flowers. I love my tomatoes, but not sure it's worth canning them anymore. The lemon cukes are delicious.

We grew a lot of corn this year, out in the field and froze enough for the year and then some. I planted a few squashes with the corn and a couple of pumpkins, which did nothing. The squash are interesting, will take a pic and show you those.

Here is one of my box beds this year.
