small harvest but it's fresh

Picked the peas, it is getting to hot for them so cleaned out the bed and put the buckets with the maters in them with one bed getting the okra plants will be interesting to see how thay do in a shallow bed


looking forward to a good harvest

first mater for the season hope to get a bunch more for salsa

last of the squash till fall(to darned hot) and having a problem with blosum end rot so we will play with the dirt and see if that helps this fall

pea time

Blooms on the vines

We got peas in the pod
Pods are just showing a little filling

When plants started up I tied strings to top of grid and draped them down,

then used Popsicle / craft sticks to hold down the ends in the dirt.
So far the strings seem to be staying in place, time will tell.

Got greens ??

So far this has been an excellent try at growing things with minimal dirt.

The watering system is NOT working the way I had intended it to how ever I believe with a tad more pressure it will work better, so next time I'll set it higher up for a stronger gravity flow.

The lettuce did better than I expected and with a bit of rethinking and a small greenhouse could be doable all year long.

"Yeller" squash is doing real well also I will however set up a bit of shade for them next year and with an improved watering system I expect them to really produce.




We have been wondering if we are to close to Oak Ridge (the nuke plant)

gots squash

First harvest



We have a ton of blooms hoping to get a mess this weekend


going to cook them up with a bunch of vidalia onions

hope to have maters in about a week
