When we arrived at Monticello we had  about a ten minute wait before our house tour began.

We took that time to admire the Vegetable Gardens.

Wildflowers bordering the garden.

Beautiful Expanse of Gardens

Orchard

Gorgeous rock wall separating the garden plateau from the orchard.

And this is our garden:

Not quite as beautiful, but much more entertaining!

Here is Old Man Roy plowing our garden

with a plow that’s even older than he is.

He insisted on doing the plowing, because only he is capable of making sure the rows are straight.

Our Garden Now:

The garden is fully planted with Potatoes (Red, White and Baking), Radishes, Cucumbers, Squash, Zucchini, Onions (Red, White and Yellow), Garlic, Corn, Green Beans, Peas, Tomatoes, Asparagus, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Peppers, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Kale, Beets, and Sweet potatoes!

We are looking forward to not buying any groceries for a couple of months!

Everything is coming up beautifully!

The first of our crops! Radishes.
