OK, I said that I would report the progress of growing potatoes in a box.  (There are pictures of the potato box in earlier posts.)  And I gallantly said "I graciously allow failure in my garden because some times you just have to try and see what happens.  Well, this was not the season for this experiment.  We had tons of rain in the spring and summer and the stems that we continued to bury rotted.  I'm still not done with this experiment.  Next year I'll try again.  Beannie helped us look for potatoes.  We were disappointed and he was disappointed.

Here are some photos of where the garden is at this time.

The garden is an extension of our home, window within, windows without.

This is my first year growing figs.  I had never tasted a fresh raw fig, OH wow what a special fruit.

I love sunflowers.  This sunflower is giant.  She has smiled over our garden all summer and now at this time of harvest, she is burdened by the weight of her head.  The birds have been feeding from her seeds.  She has gifted us all season long.
