Well here she is, our beautiful lake front garden! Jessi, our breakfast cook and Gardner extraordinaire has spent a lot of time and energy making this garden as productive as possible.
This year Jessi has included in the garden, Sunflowers, Sweet Peas, Green Pole Beans, Cushaw (also known as the "above ground tater")Peppers, Tomatillos, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Zucchini, Lettuce, Arugula, Chard, Kale, Garlic, Carrots and few other goodies that I am sure I'm leaving out.
The garden is a multi-level organic, surrounded by walls of chicken wire, to keep out the pesky deer. Each row starts and ends with Marigolds-natures bug control. The strawberries are hanging this year, to keep pug Henry from wiping out the Strawberry harvest and the roses in the front are purely decorative and now almost completely aphid free after the biodegradable dish soap water rinse that Jessi applied a few days ago. Mrs. Rocky Point is rose lover and she will use them to decorate the house for her guests. I will be experimenting with home made rose sugars and syrups.
