Take a walk through the garden with me!

The garden at the farm, has grown like the Garden of Eden this year. The arbor entering the garden has a climbing rose on the left side as well as a clematis on both sides.

A decorative sweet potoato vine flanks each side of the arbor and climbs a garden tower to form a pyramid of foliage. (Yes, there are huge sweet pototoes and we eat them when the seaosn is over. They are not like the typical sweeet pototoes you buy in the US, but less sweet and don't kep the winter like the ones you are probably used to).
You can also see the colorful flowers to the right of the arbor inside the garden.

This is the mass of flowers seen to the right in the last photo.

Farmer Ken is busy picking tomatoes!

This basket is typical of the abundance that we enjoy for most of the summer! We have tomato salads most everyday (that is salad without lettuce, but also includes some squash, peppers and whatever else we think will taste good/sometimes eggs or bacon bits).

We have also benefited from the second patch of sweet corn. Despite the extreme heat during polination, he ears still tasted good even though small and not all full of kernals. The deer and racoons got the first patch, so we hope they enjoyed it!
