    Did someone say garden

    Here are our gardens (well some of them as the south is not in use yet).

    This is our east garden. It was enlarged to 50' x 50' this year.
    This was originally a triangle shape and had 2 palm trees in the middle of it as well as an oak tree to the right side.
    We had the trees removed and the palms stumps ground down a good foot and squared up the area. There was also a clump of palmettos and a couple of scrub oaks that were to the left side which also blocked the naval orange tree from getting sufficent sunlight.
    Killed/removed the grass and tilled and tilled and tilled....
    Rearranged/added sprinkler heads.




    The front center trellis is garden peas and the back one is sugar snap peas.
    The collards are still doing great and are the ones in the center on the angle.
    Far right is onions and garlic in front, romain lettuce in the front left with white potatoes planted behind them.
    The rows to the right of the lettuce is red potatoes planted last weekend.
    To the right of them will eventually be roma and contender green beans.
    Four rows of silver queen corn will go to the right of the trellis and in front of the collards. Sweet potatoes will be on mounds behind the collards. Between the corn and peas will be cucumbers and lima beans (3 tomato plants are already in the back of the row)

    Here's an herb/starter table I built for mama.



    The north garden has been our producer this winter.
    Here we have carrots in various stages, texas sweet onions, some romain, great lakes lettuce and broccoli to the right.



    Here's campari tomatoes (trellis in background has since been moved to the east garden).



    More broccoli, spinach, more romain and the tomatoes. Garden peas just starting are barely visible to the back left.

    That's awesome!

    I envy your growing season!

    I don't have any current shots of my garden, but this is one of my front yard/driveway. Just close your eyes a little and imagine tomato stands, garden boxes, and pots...

    You are one hearty sole, it is about 45 degrees out and now I have to go outside and work. I would much prefer to stay inside by the fire.......
