My Gardens
I have never claimed to be a weed-free gardener. I am what I have labeled a "functional gardener", meaning that what I do is functional but I definitely enjoy it. Here are some pics.
This is a picture of my first garden. At the end, where it looks like grass, is my daughters garden, which I refuse to touch! LOL! But up at the front, I have mostly okra, garlic, flowers and some lettuce.
I took a close up of my little okra plants coming up.

Re: My Gardens
This is a picture of the large garden lengthwise. It has a strawberry bed, space for vine vegetables, corn, tomatoes and asparagus. I'm sure I have bitten off more than I can chew, but I love it! 
Second photo is some peonies in my backyard.

LOL! Yeah, that's quite a difference. My corn is about 3-4 inches high!

Re: My Gardens
Awesome pics ILG! Your garden is doing awesome for a "functional" gardener! Did you plant any tomatoes?
My okra is about as big as yours. I didn't plant any potatoes, although now I am wishing I did.
I'll have to take some pictures of my efforts gardening here in the NW as well...

Yes, I have a couple of rows of tomatoes. I planted two types of potatoes. The one kind came up great and the other kind has not come up at all!!
