Backyard Garden project

 

It was great to go out last week Wednesday and see how people in America make a backyard garden. We walked a few blocks from regular LAB. down College Street to view a mini-garden being made by the community. The above Raised bed has some eggplants hanging on from summer, along with some lettuce, leeks, one lone red cabbage that is struggling to make a head, broccoli, and some peas starting up the new black trellises made by the gardener. As we can see that gardener let the eggplants to go a bit too long. The eggplants turned from glossy black to egg color which is ready for harvesting. 



The next Raised bed comprises of broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and brussels sprouts, with some beets and lacinato kale left over from a previous planting by the gardener. Fall is the season people make gardens in America because of the weather.
