Kitchen Garden


A photo showing the overall layout of the kitchen garden is posted above.

The planting beds are raised. In addition to providing an ideal growing situation for a variety of edibles, the changes in elevation coupled with the angular lines contribute to a more interesting space.

The back "wall" is an open wire mesh suitable for supporting tomatoes and vining plants. The top of the fence is embellished with an iron, stone & glass element fabricated by Keith Yurdana of Taproot. Some detail photos of the finials are posted below.

A photo sampling of our current garden bounty:

Plenty of Basil, several varieties

Lettuce, of course!


Cherry Bomb Hot Pepper


Thai Green Eggplant

Yellow Boy Tomato, shown here with Purple Ruffles Basil
We've also got several varieties of cherry tomatos going strong.

All this and more; lots of zucchini & yellow squash, various peppers and eggplants, cucumbers. We're really enjoying the fresh food we're getting from the garden!
