Garden Time, JINMAN ??????

In spite of the weeds, it looks like some good eating.

Don, I'm with Bird on this. Those veggies look pretty good to me, especially the potatoes and tomatoes. All 55+ of my tomato plants are loaded with green tomatoes, but no ripe ones yet. Yours look really good. If we get another shower of rain today or tomorrow, I may have to start making two trips to the house in the Mule to carry all the produce.

That is a nice looking tiller and it certainly does a great job for you. The one I have is an attachment for my weed whacker. It works fine, but is a bit heavy to carry around for any period of time.

I am sure all of your attention to weeding has paid off. I was once told, " If you leave one weed in the garden you will have a hundred of them next year". I'd like to say I stay ahead of the weeds, but toward the end of summer they seem to win out.

Wonderful garden pictures!

Jim, what colour is that nail polish you're wearing in the bean picture?

It's called GARDENia red....want me to send you some?

 

[Defective]

Nah...

It'd clash with the paint on the rest of me...

Thanks anyhow.

I am hoping to see my garden this weekend for the first time in 2 wks. I have been out of town. When I left, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and beans were starting to look promising. While I have been gone, my wife has been telling me about the great tomatoes she has been eating and the zucchini and squash she has been giving away. She said she has also picked quite a bunch of green beans. Hopefully I will get some of that this weekend before I have to leave again.

Bill, I think your stuff must be a couple of weeks ahead of us. We planted zucchini and it is just now starting to make nice squash. I don't know why it is slower than the yellow squash and scalloped squash, but it is. Our tomatoes are also about two weeks behind yours and you know the story on them. I wouldn't have any (or definitely fewer) if we hadn't covered them with plastic during our last cold snap here. When we start getting tomatoes in about two weeks, we'll be covered with them because the plants are loaded. I hope you have better luck with your squash vines than you did last year. Did you spray to keep the squash borers away?

Yesterday morning, I was going to get started installing our irrigation system. Just as we got to the garden, it started raining. We got almost 1/2" yesterday morning and then 1" when the main storm came through yesterday afternoon. The irrigation system just suddenly dropped in priority.

I'm ready to transplant from the mini-greenhouse to the garden! Rabbit fence is complete. Now we can plant. I attached some pictures of the 'new' ready-to-plant garden makeover. Memorial day is our guideline for safe planting (frost).......so...I'm on schedule.

Wow! Don, you have spent as much work in planning your garden as I have planting and growing mine. That's impressive. You are gonna have a real showpiece there. No matter how well mine is doing, I am going to love watching how your garden comes along. I just have a hard time "dealing" with a safe frost date of Memorial Day. I've had almost two month's jump on you.
