September in the guerilla garden on the canal easement. We've got peppers, beans, eggplant, pumpkins, asian tiger melons, pear gourds, tomatoes, assorted herbs and the sweet scent of moonflower. The bees are working over everything with pollen.
Fat Bottom Farm is 50 acres in Eastern Oregon, owned by Carol (Mom) who maintains a large lawn and garden and leaves the rest for habitat. I also have a little garden in Western Idaho on the bank of a canal behind my house. The two are about an hour apart.
Carol is a compulsive gardener and veteran of 23 seasons on this site; I am an interested amateur with a little time to spare on holidays and weekends...and a growing compulsion of my own.
Recently joined by sister/daughter Jen in Half Moon Bay whose first garden is a high raised bed that is thriving.
This is the chronicle of what I am learning by oral tradition, book learnin', trial and error, happy accident, horrible accident and friendly advice.
Also, I like to take photos and share with family.
