Kat, great work on the garden. I am jealous, my little patch is MUCH smaller. A few tomato plants and a couple of Jalapeno plants. O well! I can dream big!

I thought this was going to be small...now there is not enough room for what I want to do. I guess...Go Big or Go Home...Right! LOLKat, great work on the garden. I am jealous, my little patch is MUCH smaller. A few tomato plants and a couple of Jalapeno plants. O well! I can dream big!

Kat we keep expanding our garden every year. We try and limit the beds to 2' wide to make it easier to tend. Learned that from square foot gardening techniques. My cousin is in a wheel chair and likes to garden. All his beds we made for him are 2' wide with 3' paths in between. 12" high. That way he can reach them all from his chair. We found the smaller beds are easier on our bodies when tending them. Now if I only lived where it was warm!

It looks good Kat I used to have a friend that wrapped one of those snake light things around his neck and work in the garden at night
Looks good..Think I am going to pass this year on a Garden...I have a couple of friends with big gardens so I will mooch from them...
Lookin good there missy! Steph and I put in a small raised garden this year and a few tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets (my father-in-law's idea).
We planted herbs in the raised garden, basil, thyme, rosemary, and parsley (flat leaf). Thinking about adding some squash.
See ya,

Bill....I have some herbs growing in some small containers!
Lynn and I got the green beans and the pencil cob corn planted tonight....and watered them down. I will get a pic tomorrow of the pole bean tee-pees! Going to do the strings when they start growing and needing the support.

Looking good ! Kat , what in the world is a cuke ? Lol never heard of that before . Maybe we call it something different .
LOL....thanks! A cuke...is a cucumber. That is what we call them around here....like 'maters and 'taters.
Kat
Very impressive garden. I love your selections of plants and they make me very jealous. Here, we can only grow short season tomatoes outside and peppers pretty well have to be done in a greenhouse.
I hope you do a post on making the hot sauce.

Ohhhh Disco.....I have a Killer fresh salsa that I make. It's fresh, chunky and everyone wants me to bring it for pot lucks. My buds have told me to "can" it....but I like it done fresh that day. We will see what I might do this year. I think I posted the recipe in that part of the forum. Will have to go check. If not....I will post that one. It's HOT!
Kat
Disco...found it!
Here is the link for the Salsa....and yes I did win a Blue Ribbon on it!

Thanks! I will have to give it a try. I also make a salsa with pears in it that is popular in these parts. I will post when I make it this fall. I do can it so your fresh recipe will make a great addition to the summer table.

Understand your "pain" with that....have to keep the house and the yard...spit spot all the time. Sucks too!
Cant wait for some things to grace the table from there this summer!

The Beans and Corn have Sprouted!!!!
We even have babies! Everything is producing!
Here are some of the latest pics!
Baby yellow crook necks
my beans are about 3 inches tall
Baby jalaps!
Even the pencil cob corn has sprouted. Was afraid it wouldn't!
Baby Anaheim
Has anyone used "vinegar" as a weed killer in the gardens? Keep hearing about it. Wondering about "death to the nut grass" in my garden. Haven't done it...don't want to put too much acid in the ground.
