When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

RE:HOME GARDENING
Lets see, we were a little late as this was the first time for the garden here, lots of rototilling and I can only do a small bit at a time. We planted snow peas, beans, radishes, carrots, onions, broc, various hot peppers and some bells, squash, cukes, pumpkin, watermellon and of course the obligitory minimum three stalks of corn. We might actually get some of the slower things to come to fuition because the weather has been so nice! The peppers are looking good!!!! Peas in a couple days, radishes are good. carrots soon.

I get sun from 9;00 am -3:30 pm.The pics I showed were only a couple spots in my yard.I learned gardening from my granparents and dad.

RE:HOME GARDENING
We're having a lot better luck this year with our gardens than we did last year. Here are some pics.
Yellow Bell Peppers. The purple ones didn't make it.
Snap Peas in the foreground, and Zucchini, Acorn Squash & Spaghetti Squash against the garage.
Lettuce in the foreground, Swiss Chard then Bush Beans against the fence.
Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Onions, Oregano & Basil against the house.
Not to mention flowers,
& shrubs & trees.
Yep! All in all it's a good year for the garden.

RE:HOME GARDENING
Those are some great looking gardens.
This is what mine looks like this year. We just made an offer on the property...Now it's up to the bank.
This is what your back yard can look like after one year without yard care or irrigation.

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley.

Hey Big D, Don't tell me, let me guess....... It all started going down hill when you got the boat........

Hi Bodo,
It did kinda go down hill. I didn't realize when "I upgraded" my boat...My wife still calls it a "boat purchase" that I would owe her one. I guess I should have read the fine print.
Good thing for me the property comes with a huge garage shop combo.

RE:HOME GARDENING
Those are some sweet gardens guys! Makes my wife's and mine look puny. :colors:
We have zukes and beans growing in the small garden area, tomatoes in planters on the deck, and some basil, oregano, and cilantro in a planter box on the deck too....oh, and one lowly strawberry plant in a pot that has produced 3 berries to my 3-year-old daughter's delight This is my first attempt at basil and this hot weather is really making it go like crazy.
Something about eating something you grow (and catch) sure is satisfying!
