we have found the easiest way to showcase photos for us is by doing slide shows on video.


here is this years journal of the gardens and such..

I am hoping that mine will grow like that..I spent more tome this spring making raised beds then planting...

I will taking potatoes out soon, to make room for tobacco

Thanks for sharing these slide shows......a picture is worth a thousand words.

onions is done..





and some lil ones..

nice! we put the cages on the tomatoes today & picked 11 quarts of strawberries. My elderberries are going to bear for the first time this year and are looking real good. Raspberries are loaded and though hard are showing the first signs of pink. The potted tomato gave us it's first ripe one today!

about time for us to go check the blackberries,blueberries still have a couple weeks,strawberries have long since played out here..

as requested ,pic of the mutant north Georgia roaster squash plant..



yes thats just one plant..

pics just dont do it justice tho..

Strawberries are starting to play out...probably have just a couple more days of picking. We've gotten about 45 quarts or so from the two 16' beds so far. I'm moving the beds this year, so we'll see how it goes when I plant them a bit differntly in the new beds. I'll be glad to have the dirt in the strawberry beds cleaned up and ammendments added to it.
The raspberries have given me about a cup of berries, so I'm expecting a nice big wave of them in about a week or so. Lettuce is ready for me to start picking and the patio tomato is giving fruit. It's been so dry here that things aren't growing quite as lushly as normal, but so far, so good.

latest on the gardens and such.. you can sure see the evidence of how dry and warm its been here.. looks like the weather will begin to break tomorrow tho..
