Growth on the RV pad

All of our work finally started to pay off in late July when we were able to see some growth and harvest some greens. Here is our attempt at protecting our food from hail damage.
Growth of the herb spiral--lots of harvesting and drying has been done to these herbs.
Strawberries, red currants, and rhubarb--which made an amazing jam when honey was added :)
Crookneck squash--not nearly as productive as the zucchini, but a fun addition to the garden anyhow.
Zucchini plants, 2 blueberries, and a relocated gooseberry near the concrete.
One of 6 zucchini plants
Tree spinach 2 months after planting, it grew to over 5 feet tall by the end of the season!
Siberian Honeyberry bush that we bought in Claresholm, AB early July. It will grow to about 1 meter tall and wide.
The volunteer sunflowers grew much hardier than those I planted, but the bees did not seem to mind one way or another.

Harvest Time coming up next!
