My Mountain Garden

[TomNJ]

Here are a few photos of my 50'x50' veggie garden in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia (Floyd). All is progressing well so far. Next up will be garlic harvest starting in a couple of weeks. The heavy grass clipping mulch is doing a great job of suppressing weeds and retaining moisture.

Plantings are tomatoes (24), garlic (475), onions (450), sweet peppers (7), hot peppers (7), eggplant (6), basil (10), oregano (15'), corn (132), potatoes (22'), beets (11'), parsnips (11'), green beans (11'), plus a spattering of squash, lettuce, spinach, pea pods, cucumbers, and asparagus. A groundhog got the broccoli and cauliflower (and I got the groundhog!).
