Gardening

I need to make one comment before I even begin talking about gardens and flowers and growing green things (other than those green fuzzy things in the back of the refrigerator.....) I do not have a green thumb. My thumb is an ugly sort of brownish reddish grayish... I kill plants as a matter of fact, I have been accused of killing a silk arrangement. I cannot give you any tips to making your garden grow. You have to ask Beebs for that. If you will notice - Marty is the one actually in the garden, I am allowed to take photos only.

So here we go....... Marty and James decided to pant a garden this year. That gave Marty all the permission he needed to hook up the disk behind the 4-wheeler and begin to roar around the yard. Thankfully he kept the digging to the area behind the shop so it is hidden from view. All in all it is probably less than an acre as he chose to plant in and around the fruit trees and blueberry bushes on the fill. He has not planted 52 tomato plants plus he and James have planted purple hull peas, bush beans, speckled butter beans, squash, cucumber, cantaloupe, watermelon, hot peppers, sweet peppers, lettuce and okra.

Ever since they planted we have had rain just about every day so have not been able to stake the tomatoes nor put up the needed material for the peas and beans to climb upon. And we have more rain in the forecast. Even mowing the grass has become a difficult task. Yesterday I spent and hour and twenty minutes with the push mower on the front yard. The ground is so saturated that the tractor and zero turn mowers would sink and rut the yard.

So here are a few pictures of the garden from day one of planting to day 10.
