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.

More growing up

Cucumbers begin their upward travel. I'm curious about how this is going to work with the twine.

On the other end of the yard, pie pumpkins are starting their climb on a metal fence.

May the best climber win!

  1. It should work, I am curious to see it too. I made some flavored cider vinegar to use on fresh cukes for fresh pickles, it is cider vinegar, dill, shallots and garlic. It tastes good we will see our cukes have baby cukes on them. It has been hot and dry supposed to be in the 90's for the next week.
