June 2001 Garden Pictures

First, take a look at the flower garden...

Now here's an egyptian onion plant, first in early June then in mid June. This "walking onion" reproduces by making a new bunch of onions at the top of the onion stalk leave things, then rooting them into the ground when the plant eventually gets toppled over by the wind.

Some spring-planted bulbs I got from a friend... I don't know what they are yet!

I don't know what this is either; please email me with your guess!

Now walk down to the lower garden, protected by an intruiging fence.

It's just spring...
and the world is mud-luscious...

Here's some early cabbage, and behind it near the wall is echinacea.

Potatoes starting to pop up!

King Richard Leeks are near the fence... they overwintered here and they are going to make lots of seeds this year. Like many crops I have in my garden, they are biennial, so they make seeds on the second year.

Finally, walk around out back of the lower garden. Check out the rhubarb and a hazelnut bush, and then a couple slow but steady oak seedlings Elizabeth Wall helped me plant in 1996.
