GARDEN AT OUR HOUSE....................

The last several years we have only planted a small garden but this year I opened my big mouth and said, " Lets plant a big garden one more time." My wife agreed with me this time so we decided to plant a variety of vegetables. We hadn't planted any corn in two years so that was the first two rows in the garden. Our planting was late this year because of the amount of rainfall we had. Once planted we thought all the seeds would be washed away. Finally it quite raining and the garden began to thrive. A long row of okra, tomatoes in the wire cages, green beans two rows , three rows of peas, cucumbers, squash and bell green peppers and some hot peppers. Two rows of later sweet corn which I call Wal-Mart corn because the Coop had run out of garden seeds in bulk. My wife relented to plant this but It is growing quite well. The string with the yellow ribbons attached is to discourage the deer from entering the garden, they think it's an electric fence. So far it works but not all deer are smart??? We are beginning to see the fruits of all our labor. We have had cucumbers, squash, green beans, peppers. The first corn should be ready this next week. The garden has required a huge amount of our time but things are working out great even though we have had to water from our city water supply.
Not to be out gone I decided I wanted to try and raise some watermelons and cantaloupes and sweet potatoes. The fence in area around the sweet potatoes are protecting them from rabbits.Yeah, those bunnies found them and ate three or four plants down to the ground  before I came up with the fence idea.
We will be very busy canning and freezing the vegetables in the near future. HOE, HOE and HOE some MORE. PRICELESS???????
