Payne , do water all your veggies with over head irrigation?

No, I run soaker hoses. That was in there when I sowed seeds.

looks good

Good weather to grow

impressive dalee

I got more cucumbers up on my one hill than I need. I hate to thin them. Anyone ever transplant them in the garden?

I have before. Transplanted around 10 plants a week after they sprouted. I probably had a 50% success rate but I was able to dig a decent size area around the plant.

Very happy with the jump my garden has on the season!

very nice, those containers are neat.

If you are talking about the concrete ones Thanks I made those.

If you are talking about the grow bags this is my first time to use them and really curious how they will turn out

Beautiful rain going to make everything jump up

Got mine today. Tomatoes are setting.

I hVe two tomato plants with flowers, only about foot high. Should i cut the flower off to let plant mature more?

I never have. They will continue to grow. Seems as if I always have a bottom crop, a middle crop,and a top crop.

I've got blooms on all 5 of mine and have for the last week...be interesting to see if any of them make any tomatoes

I got everything in the ground this weekend except for okra.

The right bed has squash, sweet peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. The left bed has melons, eggplant, hot peppers, tomatoes, and corn. It will also have the okra.


These are the only three cucumbers I had sprout, and some of the self seeding onions from my grandma



These are left over orange banana tomatoes, one red bell pepper, and potatoes to the left. We also stuck some royal purple been seeds in there.



It has been a lot of work. I think I have planted around 115 seedlings. My next step is to get my irrigation set up.

The garden class I go to built these keyhole gardens a couple of years ago.

Greatness Payne. Lowe's has landscape timbers on sale for $2.50 each.

I really like those Payne. May add some of those next year. The compost in the center is intriguing

I have the build list somewhere around here, I'll look to see if I can find it.



Thanks Derek, should have it tomorrow.

I was wondering why the odd shape until I got down to the description. My initial thought was geez, that looks like a lot of work to cut and attach all those various angles ...

They’re pretty popular in Africa, doesn’t take as much water to keep the plants growing.

The border can be made from a lot of different materials . I’ve seen wood, rock/stone, tin, plastic sheets, pallets cinder blocks etc

All the landscape timbers were cut in half, holes drilled for rebar. The corner was one timber cut in forths.
Not complicated if you cut them at 45 degrees.
