Cinderblock Garden

A few months ago I posted about my thrown together cinderblock garden. It wasn't pretty, but now that it's full of food and some beneficial flowers, you don't really notice the crooked cinderblocks. The compost I got from a local facility that composts yard waste turned my seeds and starts into giant food producing biomachines!!!  Here are a few photos, actually taken about 6 weeks ago, just now getting around to posting them.
peas growing up chain link fence on the back side of the garden



carrots, nasturtiums, a few beets hiding in there, Aztec Spinach and peas in the background

Red Romaine lettuce

Wider view- you can see zucchini, tomatoes, peas, nasturtiums

red quinoa

peas and other stuff
Nasturtiums, cucumber, alyssum, cabbage. I ended up pulling up the cabbage and feeding it to the chickens because it became completely infested with aphids. Need to get some green lacewings to control those.


Cucumber, volunteer soft white wheat. Clover and marigolds in the little rectangles in the cinderblocks.
