I might adapt this for our place. Going to make a scarecrow today to see how that goes.

Looking at the hillside above the garden and the morning fog, I think you need some wine grapes planted there so you can make your own wine.

It's funny how gardeners from all over the world experience pretty much the same issues, and enjoy pretty much the same sense of achievement when their crops do well. I often wish my garden could get more direct sunlight, but then there are times when I'm glad it doesn't - like when I read posts from you!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-66819313264963478332014-08-06T18:07:53.350-07:002014-08-06T18:07:53.350-07:00LOVE this overview of your garden and your area - ...LOVE this overview of your garden and your area - you have so many different varieties happening. And your gardening experience...40+years? THAT's a LOT of experience! And a lot of years enjoying such an incredible hobby...how lucky you have been.

Some of those old Italian varieties sound interesting, especially the fagiolo di purgatorio!

I keep tall things near the edges of the beds which makes them easy to get to. If necessary I lay planks down the middle of the bed so that I can easily get in there, I have some running the length of the solanum bed so that I can get in there later to harvest the tomatoes.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-50716317341701667882014-08-06T03:28:21.233-07:002014-08-06T03:28:21.233-07:00Those beds are wide.

The first photo is taken from the end of our driveway, although the garage is below the house. The house is off to the left. The path above the garden leads up to a bench on the hillside, above the trees, so we get an expansive view of the valley and can eve see a tiny sliver of the ocean from there when it is not Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-8842645259277859962014-08-05T19:49:28.024-07:002014-08-05T19:49:28.024-07:00Oh wow, Michelle.

I never knew that you only have 4 beds...but they sound massive. <br /><br />Is your house above or below your garden? Just curious as to where the steps lead to in the first picture.
