She is looking good

WHATS The measurements on that garden??It looks as long as my...................................................................nose

[The General]

I don't know but I'd say it's just big enough.  I plant everything far enough apart that I can use my rear tine tiller between the rows.  I also don't know the answer as to why pick the flowers off.  But those 3 rows of potatoes come close to 100 gallons of potatoes the last two years.

Hmmm i have to try and experiment with that, My sweet taters are doing awsome!!!

[HD]

The boy pulled a tater plant.....

[The General]

I pulled one yesterday and the potatoes where the size of my fist.  So the size of your biceps would be equivalent.

[HD]

Let's see. ....you being a midget at the county freak show.....yea, that would be about right.

But, the bicep is bigger than your melon.

The garden is comming along well

 Bout a week ago I dug some new tatters,I saw the garden which is about 16ft wide an 30ft long thrashed!! It is fenced with a 42 inch high fence to keep bunnies and critters out.1/2 my tatters were broken off and laid flat,1/4 of the onions were flattened also! I inspecyed and found white bird feathers and bird poop all over the tatter greens. The feathers were flight feathers,The ole girl an myself just couldnt figure it out!! Eagle goin for a bunny?? Their tail feathers are flat not flight feathers! Egret?? No way why would they be in the garden??
 The ole girl Sandy was talking to a neighbor,They said guess what was in yer garden from 5 AM till they went home at 9AM>>WEll she couldnt even make a guess,We when through all possibilities!!! They said a Pelican was in it!! They were going to call and let us know.Dang pelicans need some long runways for takeoff 16ft or 30ft wasnt enough so it tried and thrashed the tatters an onions!!! We never saw the bird it was gone,We did see and were confused why the damage!! Weird EH!!

As Dexter would say "carn" is doing great, already starting to tassel. Already pulled some cukes, beans, peas, kale and a few small tomatoes. Took some taters out of the field plot, figured I'd leave the one by the barn alone for now.

finally, the garden is starting to produce!!!!!!!! got all my dill picked and pulled. carrots and kalarabi doing good. getting some green beans even after the rabbits raised havoc with them. cukes are doing good, picked about 8 of them, even a couple cherry maters and 1 other mater.

   Sounds great, the potatoes survived the hail storm and I dug some last week to bring over to MN.  Nothing kills zucchini and yellow squash coming in the past two weeks...  Corn have about 12 stocks, tomatoes are re leafing and blooming finally...

Storm came through here overnight and dumped about two inches of rain and some high winds. First thing I had to do this morning was pick up planters and chairs. The worst part is the wind took down all of my sweet corn! still growing cucs here all this rain is going to make for a lot of ripen tomatoes here.

[glenn57]

hope its done raining when I get home. even if its a bit moist gotta get in da garden cut lawn.............ah not enough daylite!!

[glenn57]

Guessing by next week at this time my cucumber plants will be toast.
