Saturday July 19th I
Ok this post was a bit late...
The 1st photo is my salad mix harvested from my gardens comprising of... lettuce mix, amaranth leaves from a mix of strains, dill, nasturtium leaves, violet petals, radish flowers and seed pods, kale leaves, Egyptian walking onion stems and peppercini peppers I sprinkled rye cracker and cheese on top with chopped up pepperoni .
the following four photos are some of my many "bread seed" poppies I have in my collection,
The last two photos are of a way to grow tomatoes as well as a way to save space, I came across this great invention several years ago in some garden magazine, now since then you found some inventor who started selling panted " growing bags" for everything from flowers and strawberries to tomato plants, although the grow bags are more " cosmetic " and pleasing to the eye than a bucket, however I still prefer this method as I can get the buckets for free and grow other crops on top as pictured here,,, I have Dill, Amaranth, Basil, and a Cabbage plant, in previous years I have successfully grown Zucchini Squash, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Beans, Carrots, as well as various flowers and vines.

Not bad, although I wonder about the "bread seed" poppies. You mean you got those seeds off bread??
no you use them for cooking, they were brought over by the Perkins family from Europe who cleared the land and homesteaded my late grandparents place, I also have collected other seeds from various sources including some my uncle brought back from Viet Nam during the late 60's
