Never Plant Broom Corn!

So my mom and dad have always had a huge garden. Last year my dad planted a massive amount of broom corn (two rows). If you don't know what broom corn is here is a pic. It is sort of a decorative plant.

It is fun but the worst is having to pull it all out. The roots grow like a web and grow into each other and get really entangled. I finally got it all cleared and now mom has a much more manageable size garden that is coming along great. Here are some of the before and after pictures of the garden.





Here is what the garden looked like in March.

This is the garden now. Mom loves watching the Marten house and her peonies are blooming.

This is the beginning of mom's garden drawers back in March/April.

This is the garden now with great lettuce coming up. Mom's rhubarb has been great this year too.



My brother-in-law built my mom this great garden box over Mother's Day weekend. Now the tomato plants are coming up great!

So now we are working on planting some more flowers and we are getting her shed moved back over next to the house so mom has all her plant things together.
