Garden Update Phase II

This past Memorial Day the Hubs and I went out to my parents' house to help them put in the vegetable garden that I talked them into suggested they might want to plant.  We spent many days working on that garden and the Hubs and I, who have officially become city slickers, quickly came to appreciate the work that's involved in a garden.  I recorded our entire long weekend here. Then, a few weeks ago Bob (as my mother is known far and wide) sent some photos for the first in a series of updates on the garden.  Here is that first update.  This weekend Bob sent me another round of photos, which don't quite do the garden justice because of it's massive size, but are still worth sharing.

 

This is the asparagus that we planted this spring, when it looked like a sad little root

This is one of the hot peppers that we will dry and use this winter.  

This spring the raspberries were nothing more than brown twigs and now they have berries.

 

These are potato plants.  I've never seen potatoes actually growing before. 

I didn't know they had such beautiful flowers.
