You need to start accumulating some concrete blocks for your tomatoes.When you plant them in a block,you can put them anywhere you want,and a weedeater can safely be used to keep the grass down.
Let's start a good thread!!!

I dug radishes today (first harvest). In about 2 weeks I will have them all out and will be replanting from seed.
Im hoping for turnips in a week or two.
I have a LOT of zuchini squash that is growing fast, just hoping to see it flower soon so it will start producing.
Roma tomatoes are finally growing into real plants thanks to the recent warm weather.
Snap beans got stringers put in today to aid high vine growth, they look good in my novice opinion.
The garlic Im not sure about. It came on strong out of the ground, but now looks like it isnt going to stay green leaved and keep growing. I think its way too early to harvest as well.

I live in a farming community and have been called a farmer and a rancher; doesn't bother me either way. What I don't understand is these city guys moving to a five acre housing addition with a couple of horses and putting a sign on the driveway stating the place is a ranch. Now I think that is hilarious, although I do understand that after living on a postage stamp in the city they probably feel like they are living in the wide open spaces with 5 acres.

Bowtie- Don't wait until you pull them all (radishes),scatter some seed in the loose dirt as you pull them and they will keep up with you.
When did you plant the garlic,should have been late August or September.It grows all winter (sort of) and should be ready in June.If you have rocambole hard neck you can harvest the scapes now.They are the bulbs on the stalks,gourmet stuff.
When you start the zucchini harvest,you will be looking for recipes.Here's one:Split length-wise to about 2" X2" and grill them.Baste with herbed butter.Don't cook them too long,leave them a little crisp.

Maybe this is wrong, but I sold insurance for 2 years and the reason i don't do it today is b/c I could not get along w/ my agency manager...The straw that broke the camel back was an agent meeting were he said the goal we should have was to buy a new caddy and not a chainsaw...I took it personally and made sure he did not make his trip to Switzerland...I still have a glocken hanging from the shifter in my Jeep to this day...
Yea, I hear you. Another city type thing, to me, is calling a 1/2 ton or smaller pick-up a truck. I always figured a truck has to have at least 8 lugs. Not tomatoe lugs.... wheel lugs. You big lug! Humm, is that how you spell it?

Glad to hear that on the radishes. Im going to do that.
The garlic Im going to test one tomorrow to see where Im at with it.
The zuchini just needs more time, it hasnt flowered yet. Thats how I cook it. I quarter it, add Grillmates Montreal Steak seasoning, and put it on the grill. I dont let it cook more than to crisp the outsides.

What kind of garlic do you have,I have the hardneck I mentioned before.It's pretty hot raw and really mellow when cooked.
When FISH comes back,I tell him about my "no till" black-eyed peas.

Jason, you won't harvest the garlic until fall.
I just harvested, blanched, and froze 10-15 lbs. of spinach, and 5 heads of broccoli. Sugar snaps are just starting to set on. Chard is going nuts too. Peppers are in, 30 plants, all hot peppers. I "can" them in olive oil with garlic and salt.

Here is a chicken house my son in law make the roof comes off to clean it, he has 6 birds.
Hate to break it to your son-in-law, but those look like Ducks............
My tomatoes are up in the big garden up the hill, I get a late start on
them as we get late frosts down here in the valley.

I have been reformed, my wife took me to the vet and had me "tutored".
Apologize to the son-in-law, I see a chicken or two now.
My herb garden is "top secret", the helicopters get thick around here, I
wonder if Obama will keep up the "war"......
Last year the fuel cost kept them away.
Around here, anything at all outside is taken by animals. Fencing has to be tiny mesh to keep out rodents [pretty impossible], strong enough to keep out bears [completely impossible in any realistic way], covered over top to keep out birds, particularly ravens. Anything else the deer go for. So, I built a greenhouse from patio glass door replacement panels and it's going well. Greens and tomatoes and peas and etc. coming along. The chard and spinach and lettuce grow year around in there, everything else is summer work.

No losers here, Fishie. I just see a guy who appreciates all the little things. I don't even get the feeling it's alcohol induced.
Good for you.
Good for you.
