Straw Bale Gardens August 2016 Photo Update

I know a few of you have asked about the straw bale gardens Mike and I did this year.  I thought I'd share some photos of what they looked like in August. 

You can just barely see the straw bales under all this beautiful lush growth.  There is amaranth, purple majesty millet and tomatoes in this row.

This is from the other end.  The red amaranth is in the compost from the chicken coop and I love it so I let it seed where it wants to grow and I leave it alone.
