About 2/3 planted here. Beet, parsnip, rutabaga, bush bean, carrot, onion, peas, lettuce, winter squash all up a few inches. Seed veg up one to two feet - yeehaa! (I am easily amused ...)

Still to go: cabbage, pole bean, summer squash, melon, cukes and gherkins.

Pesky flea beetles made a quick breakfast of the summer radish. Groundhog is probably enjoying a cool one on his hillside terrace, watching me with binoculars 'til his "dinner" is ready. :cry:

How's your Victory Garden going?

Marigolds and a .22 rifle! :devilgrin:
 
We city folk do not have space for this much of a garden, so we have tomaters, squash, and green beans only. Way too much clay in the soil, but the small garden patch is slowly improving...
So far the plants are doing almost as well as the weeds.
 
Compost! It'll get better every year.

Down here what the natives call "dirt" is aught but sand. Has to be well treated with sheepshat, etc. before it makes for good garden soil. Lots of work. That's one of the few things I miss about Pennsylvania... REAL dirt. Rich soil.
 
Folks around my area don't have gardens, they currently have a frozen food section! (Yes, it's snowing today in the Utah mountains).

I have a great crop of multiflora rose, honeysuckle, grapevine, and sumac.

The groundhog herd is very large this year.
 
My dang money trees aren't blooming again this year!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">There was a big storm in 2002 that took most of mine out. I ended up replanting, but the soil isn't that good. Seems like the only manure that I can find to add to it doesn't help that much. They only grew about 4% last year...</span> :smirk:
 
Here's mine... All in miracle grow moisture control.

I've got plums the size of golf balls! Lots of peaches almost ripe....& apples coming on like crazy.....plus if I lift the grape leaves, there's all sorts of muskedime bunches beginning to form.
 
I'm going to make a simple self-watering system soon. All my plants in containers suck a lot of water.
 
Tony,
Muscadine wine !!! :thirsty:yum!
 
Tomatoes are looking good. Squash is starting to bear. The prettiest peas and beans we have had in years. Pepper Jelly will be plentiful this year as will Okra and tomatoes around the end of June. My mouth waters thinking of all the good eating ahead!!!!
