| Vegetable Garden |
Nearby was the kitchen garden, with many different vegetables—squash, cukes, greens, beets, and beans. Servants would have been the ones who maintained the large garden which supplied all the family’s veggies. In the back of this picture is the third garden area: what is left of the arbor and its fruit trees. It certainly would be a lot of work to keep all this up!

Would you like to have lived there?
What are those tripods for? Are they left over form the surveying equipment Mr. Worthington used:)?
It must have been some job to take care of all that!
Well, I would have enjoyed being the housekeeper, cook, or gardener at Adena, but probably not the owner! The "tripods" are teepee trellises for squash or runner beans, just like some gardeners use today.
