The Vegetable Garden Not long ago the vegetable garden was a fixture of nearly every American home, from city garden plots wedged between high rises to backyard plots tucked in the corner of a backyard or along the alleyways. Today the vegetable garden is reborn in towns and cities as more and more consumers seek out fresh alternatives to store-bought fare. The new vegetable garden at Kimmel Orchard is already a big success, helping to supply the demand for market fresh vegetables while educating those who want to learn how to establish gardens of their own. Raised beds climb the slope near the old Kimmel homestead with a bounty of tomatoes, cabbages, cucumbers, sweet corn, radishes, onions, beans, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, egg plant, several varieties of squash, pumpkins and peppers, and a colorful assortment of ornamental corn varieties and gourds favored by fall decorators.  |
