wow! it looks like such a small patch, but you already have produce! and the roses are beautiful.

I love the pink roses, I'd love some peonies in that colour but I don't think I have the space.

Your roses look like mine did last summer when spiders were eating them. I dumped a bunch of baby powder on/around my rose bush, and it seemed to help keep the spiders away.

I love everything else. I'm amazed that you've already picked such beautiful produce.

Is that dinosaur kale? I love dinosaur kale more than anything in the whole world. Beautiful!

Ooh, I just read that you were going to post pictures, and here they are! Is that rainbow chard?

Rach*n · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2011 6:49 pm

Yummy chard! I like the potato bag.

jewbacca · **Posted:** Mon May 30, 2011 1:40 pm

The potato bags are smart pots, pots made from felt. They provide really good aeration for the roots and can be re-used. If you're really crafty, I'm sure one could be sewn with heavy duty felt.

Yep, that's rainbow chard and dino kale. I'm pretty sure that slugs are eating the roses. Spiders aren't fans of eating foliage, just bugs.

sunchokes! seriously, just get one from the store, cut it up and put it in the dirt. it's that easy.

Kitteh · **Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:29 am

You have so much, it all looks so good! I'd love some raspberries.

Tamasin · **Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2011 6:45 pm

Can't get over your swiss chard and mesclun mix and just everything!

tomatoes before the move (around 6/25)

DSCN3925 by [url=http://www.flickr.com

I'm going to miss my star gazer lilies:

DSCN3928 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

the zinnias were starting to bloom the day of the move:

DSCN3927 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

greens are insanely easy in containers--the chard has been crazy big!

DSCN3923 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

this is the part of gardening season that gets me all excited: tomato blossoms!

DSCN3922 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

my friend victoria let me move my garden to her house. look at the size of that tomatillo plant! i'm guessing it is 4 ft. tall.

DSCN3981 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

silly me, i didn't label any of the tomatoes this year:

DSCN3980 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

blossom end rot on the plum tomatoes. this was the only plant!

DSCN3976 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

another shot of the plums. i had to toss 4-6 fruits because of BER:

DSCN3975 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

the beginnings of a gold medal tomato:

DSCN3977 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

striped romas!

DSCN3973 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

even my sickest plant is covered with fruit!

DSCN3972 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

out of order: this was my garden space before moving:

DSCN3936 by jewbacca2011, on Flickr

those tomato photos were from a few weeks ago. i'm heading over to victoria's today to take some more progress pics. the heat has been awful in IN.

I would miss the lillies too, they are my favourite flowers.

And I am jealous of your friend's tomatillo plant!

Amazing container gardening! I'm lucky if I get weeds and basil.

The tomatillo was mine. I say was because it became so huge it split in half and died. Sniff-sniff.
