2016 Garden - Starting Early

WOW, Mark, that is beautiful! I see your attack dog is keeping the critters at bay.

 

now that the cold and rain stopped and the heat is on garden is on a mission to grow peas have pods on them beets are more tehn 3 inch tall lettues jsut about ready for a salad taters need mounded again

 

He tries to keep the ducks out of the lettuce but they are bigger than he is so that doesn't always work out for him.
The ducks are smarter than they let on. One will get his attention while the other sneaks up from behind and gooses (or ducks) him.

 

Here's some updates to the garden. Going strong!. A lot of plants are blooming. Got a few tiny cucumbers, decent size tomatoes, and one tiny watermelon on the plants.

 

Garden is looking great Toothpick.

 

Getting a WHOLE BUNCH of rain tonight. Over the next week I'm betting it will be twice as big.

 

My cherry tomatoes are trying to keep up with the sunflowers.
Just about 3 foot tall and starting to set fruit.

 

I can see a whole lotta blooms in there!

 

It rained alllll weekend. And now it's sunny and hot.

Went to my brothers house today. His tomato plants are huge!
