when are you sowing your garden this year?

There were some big splattery hailstones that came before that, but it was the combination of the wind and rain with the gravel-sized hail that took out my plants.

Well no hail here but I do have to murder whatever are my ripe strawberries.. Guessing birds... Didn't see any tracks... Any other guesses?

I have yet to see any critter that will pass up strawberries. Robins love them. Bunnies love them. Mice love them. Raccoons love them. Sorry to hear about your strawberries! Have you tried putting any of that garden netting around them, to keep the beasties away?

We have some carrots just starting to break the surface. All the rest was bought already started, green peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumber, watermelon, and pumpkin.

Good-looking garden, newracer! Are the hoses a drip-line for each pant?

[newracer]

Thanks. Yes those are drip lines to each plant. When I installed my sprinkler system I included a zone for the garden. The black hose is a mini-soaker hose for the carrots.

vermin 2, me 0 had a bunch more strawberries come in and something demolished them again.. time to make some moves! always battling something!

on a side note some of the leaves on my tomato plants and squash are turning yellow on the tips. causes? way to get rid of it?

Ok, here goes nothing I guess. No idea what I'm doing, but I've got to start somewhere.

Turned this


Into this


And then into this








And finally into this


We'll have to see how this works. The side of the dog house roof facing the photos is more or less South. The fence actually shades the garden until about 10ish, unfortunately, but I had limited configurations available. I put some spinach behind the dog house, between some corn and tomatoes.
By number of plants, this garden is mostly tomatoes and peppers.

Those are sweet looking beds...and chicken house.

Hopefully it works out. If it does, we'll have more peppers and tomatoes than we know what to do with.
