Google Maps and our Garden

Right now, the image of our garden at Fermilab from Google Maps shows me working there!

My blue car is in the middle of this image, and I am in the garden to the left (west) of my car, in the second row.

In this image, the first row is beets and turnips, the second and third rows are tomatoes and the last two rows are beans. The west half of the garden is ready for (and maybe I have already planted) the second crop of beans.

The URL to see it for yourself is here. Note that this URL is centered on Jim Wendt's garden, just to the right (east) of my car.

Cool!

September 4 Diary Entry

We had a nice morning at the garden. We picked

• a half-bushel of cherry-roma tomatoes
• a half-bushel of other tomatoes (full-size roma, big-boy and orange cherry)
• a half-bushel of beans (flat and round)
• 20 pumpkins (each about the size of a volleyball)
• 10 butternut squashes
• a handful of tiny okra
• two yellow peppers

I tilled in the manure I placed around the perimeter of the garden.

Okra

The Okra has finally come in.
