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.

Side garden climbers

Side garden tomatoes are doing much better than tomatoes located away from the house. The heat bouncing off the wall is making a difference.

Tomatillos are producing, massively. They are very pretty - remind me of chinese lanterns.

And with the garlic harvested, we replanted the side garden with cabbage, sweet peppers, black beans, celery, basil and carrots.
