Flyover


My husband (with some help from friends and family) designed and built an enclosed raised bed garden for me in spring 2024. One of the beds is totally dedicated to my 30+ varieties, so they no longer need to take over my entire back patio in pots 😆

Varieties from memory, in approximate order (I grouped by color):

White:
Ryecroft Jan
Small World (just buds so far – excited to see this one that I got here on trade with Lilypad Acres 🤍)
Yuukyu (buds)

Pink:
Sweet Nathalie (buds, but opening soon)
Wizard of Oz
Fatima

Purple:
Isabel
Midnight Moon
Crème de Cassis
Crazy Love
Edinburgh
Lights Out
Thomas Edison

Red:
Vixen
Mardy Gras (buds)
Brown Sugar (absolute bomb – I love this one)
Rose Toscano (buds)

Orange/Peach:
Cornel Bronze
Sylvia
Happy Halloween (struggling – too crowded)
Hillcrest Suffusion
Penhill Watermelon (buds but sooooon)
Chrichton Honey
Oreti Adele

Yellow:
Ova Jo
Sun Kissed
Cherish
(an unknown peach Flowerfield Farms ent me as a free gift)
Coseytown Goldilocks (Lily Pad Acres gift in the Small World trade 💛)

    PS second clip is in reverse order, and yes, this video is thanks to a drone (my husband with another assist)!

    Apologies for the lack of punctuation in the OP – I always forget that Reddit doesn’t respect line breaks 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Here’s an overhead of the full garden (shoutout to my bolted broccoli that the bees love, and my mildew-riddled cucumbers that keep producing and smell like feet and will be ripped out soon 😆).

    * Dahlias on the left
    * Some volunteer cherry tomatoes, butternut squash, broccoli, basil, rosemary, celery, garlic (pulled), red (pulled) and green onions in the middle
    * Four different tomato varieties, tomatillos, and lots of chiles (hatch, jalapeño, arbol, and habanero) on the right. Along with that damned cuke, and lots of marigolds (grown from seed!) for good measure.

    I’ve also got a native pollinator garden bordering this on the outside. We got a late start last year given the structure wasn’t done til June, so it’s been really fun getting all of this truly going for the first time this year.
