Back Garden Tour...

     We have strolled through the front and side gardens and finally made our way to the back. It is comprised of a small area by the walkway and a larger area that extends from the walkway, under the porch steps and to the house. We have sectioned it off into two square sections and one open grow section. We have a small walkway (until the pumpkins take it over) that has compost piles, a few pots, and one flower.

     First up is the grape vine. I pruned heavily planning to move it, but will have to wait until fall. So, this year it is mostly foilage. We had a few grapes growing, but little E kept messing with them. Planted below the grape vine leaves are several bean plants.

     In one square we were going to have lettuce and other shade loving and low growing plants, but little E planted pumpkins everywhere so we can have some pumpkins for Halloween. Now it is pumpkins and maybe one cucumber. Plus....a few bean plants.

     In the other square we have a small corn patch with pole beans growing up the corn... and a bit of the porch railing. I hope we have enough corn to achieve ok pollination. We shall see!!

     In the free patch we have pumpkins!! Believe it or not I thinned them. I have no idea what type of pumpkins because we just saved seeds from the pumpkin we carved last year and little E  made a few holes and threw them all over the ground. We even have a few in random non-garden spots.

     Along the little walkway we have our new compost piles, a pot of carrots, some lettuce and beets in a pot, and a flower I got for my bday. I don't know what it is, but is isn't dead yet so that is something.

     We hope everyone enjoyed our little tour today. Sometimes, what you plan for your garden goes awry and the plants that pop up dictate it. I decided to embrace that this year since my little E is loving it. Have you ever thrown a garden plan out the window and then be pleasantly surprised by it. If so, feel free to share in the comment section below. Happy gardening everyone!
