Whew, last week was a close one. But in the end, Ryan Smartt and his show-offy figs won out. Now, on to week 10 which proved to be challenging, thanks to all that godforsaken heat.

Whew, last week was a close one. But in the end, Ryan Smartt and his show-offy figs won out. Now, on to week 10 which proved to be challenging, thanks to all that godforsaken heat.

But first! Some housekeeping details!

Our current standings are:
Sarvay: 2 (winning weeks 3 and 7)
Pharr: 3 (winning weeks 1 and 4, and 8)
Smartt: 4 (winning weeks 2, 5, 6, and 9)

And for those of you new to Garden Wars:

John Sarvay (of Floricane and Buttermilk & Molasses), Ryan Smartt (of ConnectRichmond), and Scott Pharr (of PharrOut and RVANews) face off each week as they showcase images of their agricultural efforts, complete with clever(ish) captions. Then you, the readers, decide who wins. Whoever has won the most number of weeks out of the three-month run of this series will be treated to a meal by the losers.

Now, on to the battling.

Sarvay

Could anything be quite as cute as a girl, her pup, and a fresh summer zuke?

Our third summer crop. Will the beans ever stop?

The hellish heat just makes them more sweet.

Pharr

Remember when it was a million degrees outside? I dedicate these to the wonderful weather that makes gardeners’ lives difficult.

That’s right, I made her sit in the heat to take this picture. She was a trooper and made me buy her ice cream afterward.

WE’VE BEEN ATTACKED! ITS… ITS….MOTHRA! NOOOOOO!

Smartt

Lyla loves helping daddy water the herbs, as well as this small plant which came from a larger plant that belonged to her great-great-grandmother.

Lined up and ready to be chopped: mild, medium, hot and ridiculously hot.

And speaking of ridiculously hot, the recent Richmond heat still hasn’t kept our roses from blooming.

Now, dear readers, it’s up to you. Leave your votes in the comments to help us decide…

WHOSE GREENS REIGN SUPREME?!??!?!
