This thread looks fun. Here's a tour of our backyard. The gardening is all my wife's work. I just help here and there, so I don't want to take credit for anything.
I'm more the equivalent of the migrant worker during raspberry season... which happens to be right now.
This is the tomato patch. They're coming along nicely. I think we might even get a few very soon.
Here are the raspberries. We have a good 20 feet of them and they're producing quite well this year. This is what I've been doing every evening.
Next is the new zucchini bed.
We started a few currant plants 2 years ago. Three black and one red. They were cuttings from my in-law's. Looks like they are producing a few fruits this year.
This is the herb area. And a few grape vines that never produce much other than attract japanese beetles. My wife insists on having these climb on the pergola. I'm scared of raining japanese beetles. I don't win these debates.
Looks like we'll get a hand full of blueberries.
This is the main garden bed by the house. We have lettuce, radishes, dill, chives and climbing beans among other things. Mint in the back.
And here are the pots on the deck. My wife is trying to make some climbing cucumbers melons (EDIT: those are actually melons back there - cantaloupe on the left and water melon on the right - there are small melons coming and my wife just hung them in nylons for support - I'll take photos when I get a chance). There are some peppers in there and a failed attempt at strawberries in the blue pail. Some of the house plants are out for summer too.
