Lettuce entertain you

The mystery of the stakes in the mystery garden is solved. They are indeed climbing stakes and whoever owns this garden has planted tomatoes at the base of each one. Behind them is a row of salade (lettuce) and a little further down is a partial row of something that looks like cabbage. I still don't know who is planting and tending this garden. It's isolated out among the vineyard parcels. There's no running water there, so that has to be brought in. And there's no fencing to protect the little plants from deer and other dangers.

Potatoes, tomatoes, and lettuce, oh my.

  1. I look forward to you solving the mystery. Odd that there’s no direct access to water.

  2. That’s a big undertaking for a place where you have to drive in with your water! At the Missouri botanical garden, they drive these kind of golf carts along the walking paths, with a little trailer behind them that has a huge water container on it, and as they drive-by all the plants, they water them with their sprayer attached to that. So maybe they have a set up like that?
