My Secret Garden

Welcome to the doggie proof fence, with homemade gate. Or at least unit the huskies decide to burrow under it, only to poop in the back corner...
Carrots and Green Onions, left to right in rows.
The Squash garden! Yellow Squash in the back two mounds. Green zucchini in the front two mounds. This is certainly my favorite vegetable to grow. I prefer it steamed until very soft, or wrapped in aluminum foil on the grill to accompany any other assorted meat.
The herb garden. For now I only have two herbs, lavender and dill. Eventually they will be joined with mint, and cilantro/coriander. Hopefully this isn't to many in such a small space? This is my first year growing Dill and Lavender. I plan to use the lavender in a homemade beer gruit recipe. The dill will be used on everything along with cilantro. The mint serves one purpose, MOJITOS!!!!!!
Baby dill
Baby lavender
Wanting to grow up into big carrots, someday
Jasper along for moral support, and protection; also sunbathing for free
You can't work soil without a beer
And reading some Cormac Mccarthy to pass the time until i can eat my crop

Good luck with the garden and the dogs.....let me tell you understand totally with two huskies but not as organized with the fences and containers.
