On a brighter note....

Despite the fact that I now have to ward off STINK BUGS..... My garden is doing fairly well!!!  Here are a few photos I snapped this morning! Most of what you see has all been planted 2 weeks ago from seeds straight into the garden. Then of course, a few of the seedlings I started in doors a few weeks prior.

Here is a pic of the garden from the end with my ham of a doggie Zoey getting front and center! She just loves to get her picture taken!! 

I have 4 hoop houses total aprox 8 ft x 5 ft. The board at each end help with closing up the plastic on each end. Just something I did on a whim. I works... I just used stuff I had around the house.

I think I only spent about $40 bucks on them. Since I already had the wood.

I have all my shorter growing plants in them.

1 out of 4 big boy tomato plants that I have. The little stinkers haven't gotten to this one.....YET!! 

Here I have 2 tomato plants and 4 cucumber plants. I built this trellis out of 2x4's. I just used a table saw and cut them down to about 1 inch sq. We will see how it holds up. I am going to try and grow my cucumbers upwards this year.

Here is a green bean plant those little stinkers have munched on..... grrrrr.....

my 4 rows of corn!!  mmmm can't wait to eat some of this! Born and raised in Iowa, the corn state.... I have deep love for my corn... specially on the cob!! mmmmmm...

I know... I know... I need to get to weeding! But I was waiting a little bit for them to come up and get strong before I go moving my hoe around in there.

My watermelon I am super excited about!! I tried to grow on last year but it never got this far! So for it to have made it to the next stage like this....gives me hope.... I have 4 of these just like this one!!  I'm getting gitty!!!

4 rows of green beans.... in the red pots I am starting strawberries. I have one that is already growing from last year in a hanging pot, plus I have 6 more plants planted next to the corn!!

The strawberries did ok last year just fought the buggies for them. Prob the slugs!!  NOT THIS YEAR! LOL

mmm..... Broccoli! YUMMY! This is my first time growing this! And I am excited! Love It!! 

I have 4 plants of this!

That is all the pics I have but not all the veggies I'm growing! I also have cabbage, lettuce ( ice burg and romaine) beets, cherry tomato's , bell peppers, jalapenos, sweet peppers, carrots, and radishes. I think thats it... I am sure I am missing something.

But, until next time I hope you enjoyed the update on my garden!
