The older database-backed garden pages are still here, but I'm not going to update them. As for the entries below, I kind of ran out of steam in late 2003. Expect the journal to start up some time in spring 2004.

Well, I've been doing a lousy job of keeping this page current. The weeds have largely won in the garden, which is sort of depressing, though it's not as bad as it was last year. And we're getting a decent harvest: eggplant, peppers, lettuce, swisschard, the first tomatoes, a few squash (though something ate most of them), carrots, beets. Anyhow, I'll post some pictures. Perhaps they'll inspire me to do better next year.
Potatoes and morning glories next to the greenhouse. And weeds. There are weeds in every photo, so I won't mention them again. I just dug up all the garlic from this plot, five or ten pounds of it, to get us through the next few months.
Things are green inside the greenhouse, but not much edible is growing there. There's a big squash plant just inside the door, but it's not setting any fruit. We're low on pollinators ever since the hills around us went back into wheat and barley production.
Squash, swisschard, a few onions, potatoes, and geese.
Against the fence there's an eggplant, a pepper, and two tomatoes. Big sunflowers in the back.
Foreground is mostly potatoes, plus a few squash. The fuzzy stuff just in front of the sunflowers is this year's asparagus grown out to ferns.
Tomatoes against the fence, with eggplant and peppers next to the shaded fence in the back.
Cucumbers on this side of the sunflowers. A few lettuce plants are in there too.
Our corn crop, which is a whole lot less corn than I planted. It didn't germinate well. We'll still get a few ears.
More tomatoes against the barn.
Somewhere in there are beets, carrots, spinach, and swisschard.
