Back garden of a house in Kathmandu Valley

1959

A freshly plowed garden plot rests within stone walls behind this house in this village in Kathmandu Valley. Squash vines blooming yellow squash flowers grow in one area of the garden. Smaller plantlings are protected from the hot sun with large pieces of fabric draped over poles. Corn is wrapped up for drying to the left of the garden. A boy plays near the wall.
