Garden now, and last year pics.

I am going to post pics from this year and last garden time. Not me making the difference, but the good Lord has blessed Okla. with some good rain and some cool temperatures. Things are thriving right now. Hope it stays this way. Awful storms west of me, I saw some of the damage and I would have a hard time describing the damage that I saw around Shawnee.

It's beautiful.

All I have is a barren spot in my yard. I don't feel like doing one this year. All of the neighborhood critters are disappointed.

Oops! I guess it might help if I put my glasses on!

I'd be in even bigger trouble... That is not my garden

Hmmm, first time I have been mistaken for a Cabbage Patch doll...

over now...

The rows are so neat, too. Mine starts out more like that, but somehow ends up looking rather wild in a short period of time.

That's a beautiful garden! I love the use of the picket fence. Yours is a lot farther along than mine, except for the lettuces. Up north we can't seem to decide if it's summer yet.

I have to ask, since I love your fence so much. How do you till your garden? My rear tine tiller works like a gem, but prohibits the use of permanent fencing to a large extent, due to the space needed to turn around.

Reference to fence and tiller, I do till it with a small Troy, but ever few years I spade it up also, takes a while. I am just very careful and my soil is pretty loose, so it makes it easier to till.

What a beautiful picture that first one is. And how sad the next one is.

Nice garden!

By us, rain is never an issue unless we get too much. Last year was weird however. We had a freakishly early spring followed by flooding rain and April-like temps in June. This year our spring started late (blizzards at end of April) but now things are progressing more normally, just a bit late. And our apple trees this year have blooms now so they should not freeze like last year.

The drought last year was pretty rough in many states.

Oh, lori, sorry about that! I should have had my glasses on! Don't know why but when I saw that cabbage patch doll I automatically thought of you! Geez, I need to go to bed earlier!

Well anywho Braggs, that's a great picture of this years garden. As plentiful as the rains have been, I kind of wish I would have planted one. But I am gonna put out a fall garden.
