Gertrude Jekyll's Garden
Thomas Keller's Garden across from the "French Laundry"
Our Sweet Garden! It's growing every day!
We had a bumper crop of lemons this year!
We've run our fingers through the soil clearing the way for an array of vegetables and fruits. There's our "ever-faithful" Valencia oranges, lemons (Meyer and Eureka), Santa Rosa plums and apricots, but this year we have ventured out with a substantial garden. The seedlings are sprouting and poking their way towards the sunlight. Cabbages, lettuces, tomatoes of every variety, carrots, herbs, cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli, corn, scallions, garlic, bulb onions, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelon, green beans and strawberries. Soon our kitchen will be buzzing with activity. We have itchy fingers to begin making jam and canning a bit too! So every day we come out and stand over our sprouts like proud parents and rejoice when a nubbin of green appears. We are plant gawkers! We are smitten with our garden!
Are any of you planting this year? Please tell us!
