We tend to show photos of flowering plants on this website, but Plant Sale shopper Mimi Schirber reminds us about our many loyal vegetable growers. She writes:
“I’ve enjoyed the sale two years in a row now! This year we got a mixed four-pack of heirloom tomatoes (red and yellow Brandywines, Aunt Ruby’s German Green, and Cherokee Purple) that are FABULOUS!!! Thanks — while we are still enjoying our harvest, it is hard not to start dreaming about next year’s garden!
“We are growing broccoli, cabbage, kale, chard, a number of different squash, cauliflower (that looks more like purple broccoli??), and kohlrabi — all from your sale!! Then vertically we are growing some cucumbers, beans, and a few tomatoes - a fun way to save space and makes harvesting really easy! Beans, beets, carrots, cilantro, parsley, potatoes, radish, and a variety of greens from seed.
“This is really my first veggie garden. My dad always had one growing up, and I have always had a tomato or two, but this year I am sharing a garden with a friend and it has been a serious garden. We are having a wonderful time (and it is great to share the watering responsiblities) and are already making plans for next year’s garden! Thanks for always offering interesting and healthy plants!!”
Your garden looks like a great use of yard space, Mimi. You’re inspiring me to try some vegetables next year in my limited sunny areas. Thanks for sending in your photos!
We would love to see photos from your garden, too! Send them to photos@friendsschoolplantsale.com.
