Channeling Sophie's Garden

Carol's garden is in Port Hope MI, in a rural, lakeside community. She has lots of space and expertise. Laura' garden is located in Centralia WA, in a small suburban yard challenged by access to sun and space. Debbie's garden is in Deckerville MI, in a smaller rural yard, where rules are ignored.

Each of us is applying what we learned at at our mother's and grandmother's knees in space once owned by Sophie Mayer Birg Harter on Rangeline Road. Sophie immigrated to Detroit in 1908 from Heufeld, a once German (Donauschwaben) community of Hungary. Her hope lives on.

Tomatos thriving

We have had crazy weather, one day cold, next hot, next cold. The tomatoes are really coming along. I am still hoping for a ripe one before 4th of July!

The tomatoes in the garden are beginning to flourish. I am sure we will not be worrying about canning until September.
The flowers are from the backyard. I added some to flickr so go visit!

    Love your pictures. Can't wait for my tomatoes to have flowers, fruit - but weather here is also crazy. Things are growing though and the potatoes love it.

    Oops! I meant to resize and move the text up but ended up deleting the photos. Please replace. To keep them together and text wrapped. Write the story, then place the cursor before the first letter of the article. Insert pictures one after the other. I use medium as a size. There's not much width here for photos and text, so this will give you more room. Sorry - love the staked plant photo with toms in place.
