Wild Garden

Note:  This wild garden is in a cold frame.  The north side is open during the summer.  During the winter it is closed up tight and a drip system mister is used to keep it from freezing, until the sun comes up.  The tomato plants have lived up to five years.  Many vegetable plants live for several years.  Other vegetables in the garden include:  squash, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, lettuce, onions, tomatillos, kale, celery, and chard.
