After last years crop a better location was made .A whole year for one salad won't do again .
I'll post pics later .
It isn't going to be a DaveTClown sized garden but it will keep me in veggies this fall , lost of goodies to go with the venison stew .
Tonight I put in some red and yellow onions , some radishes , some carrots , all from seed .
Getting some aged horse manure in before planting the beans ,peas ,hot & bell peppers , maters ,taters , zucinni, cucumbers , cauliflower, and other taste treats .
Tarps are ready just in case another frost or snow hits .
Watcha guys planting this year ?

I have to admit your stuff is a lot bigger than mine, must have something to do with the hours of day light. I know your days are longer up there compaired to down here.

I will have to find my camera to take a few pics of my garden.

your weeding your garden and watering just like you should... lol and keeping that pesky ground hog out.

I think it has to do with the hours of sunlight,

I saw mijjers advertising home grown summer squahs, "no one in this state has squash yet, not till the middle of july"

Looks like your off to a good start as well .
Is that groundhog from this year ?
I haven't seen one in I don't know how long ago .
Almost done weeding today , spotted my first nickel size mater [] !
Got a few more peppers sprouted up overnight , must have been from that last rain we had , hot diggity dog !!!!
Gotta transplant some of the pepper plants and leaf lettuce this weekend , just too many plants comming up from the second planting , I thought the frost killed most of them off .
I see those asparagus are pretty high already , i gotta get more growing too .

sounds like either a slug or more likely the ever popular horned worm., you need to look close to see if you can spot him.

then when you find him, take your new buddy fishing, all the bass in the pond will love to say howdy to him. [:p]

nice lookin flower, looks like it is well on its way....

all you need now is a turtle, some morells, cream base, and a few more vegies and you will have my favorite "Mock Turtle Soup"
