Gardening




Tomatoes



This year we had high expectations for a grand garden.  We spent a long time trying to decide the best place where to plant but, with all our other plans up in the air we could not settle on the perfect area.  Despite our indecision, we did manage to get several varieties of seeds in the ground.  The warm weather in the spring gave us a great start but, a HOT dry summer has challenged even a veteran farmer.  All this being said, we have been harvesting quite a bit over the last several weeks. 

Corn

Summer Squash

We planted several varieties of squash, tomatoes and peppers.  We are also growing corn (far less than desired), carrots, collard greens, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, garlic, and broccoli.  We have had zero luck with our lettus, peas and beans.  I guess the soil is too sandy or too hot.  I am thinking about starting a planting journal so we can be better prepared for next year.  We also want to work on green  house or something similar to start our garden early next spring.
