| The Alley Garden, Gorham, IL |
To begin I should tell you that so far this gardening season I have not stepped foot in this garden. Which I am sure makes many people wonder if I have any business writing about it or anything gardening. I have a couple spots in the yard that are lovingly referred to as "Honey Holes" because they are loaded with great soil and produce many great things that would otherwise crowd or take over the garden. In the original honey hole is planted cucumbers and dill and the second honey hole has early Kale, lettuce, and now Ambrosia cantaloupe. Both honey holes are where large trees once stood and were taken out by Mother Nature with age or storms. The roots that were left to rot make the best soil after a few years they were tilled and worked and now I can the best dill pickles ever from these spots. I will share my pickle recipe later in the summer when it's tIme to start picking cucumbers.
