Here’s mine for 2021.

Garlic on lower right, strawberries on upper right under netting. Outside fence to right is squash mounds. Brussels sprouts on lower left in raised bed.
Also have another area roughly 10x20 for pumpkins not shown in pic.
You need to move that beautiful garden way further down south to get more growing time with it.

30 years ago I thought I would never compliment a man on his garden (y)

6 inches of rain in the last 4 or 5 days finally broke our drought, so the gardens are taking off now. I know you guys down south think we're slow, but now that it stays light until 9 PM, the gardens grow very fast.

Looks nice, wish I could have open gardens, but even with a 7 foot tall fence on raised beds, the critters keep trying to break in.
Tomatoes look nice and tall, should give you a good crop soon.

Ours is doing good so far. We've been trying to keep the dogs out because the love to dig in the soft dirt, so this year my goal was to get it fenced to keep them out. We're also laying mulch down to cut down on weeds and mud. Lowes has sacks on sale all the time for $2 each, so we buy a couple pallets every time it's on sale. I'm at 6 pallets so far. I also found some really nice T post type sprinklers that work really good!!! One at each end of the garden, on top of a t post, covers the entire garden. This has been a huge improvement over any other method that we've tried.


Not the best picture. My wife wants me to get some from the top of the house, but she also wants me to wait until we have all the mulch down. This was a picture of the rain, but it's also the best picture of the garden that I have so far. We have 24 raised bed with over 100 tomato plants. Unfortunately, we only have about 40 tomato cages, so that's been a surprise. Used to be able to get them everywhere, now the only ones we can find are super expensive.

Is that a doghouse inside your fenced garden? I had to fence my garden to keep my dog out of it.

The dog house is a legacy item. When we bought the place, this was a fenced dog run with dog house. We turned it into a garden because we are overrun with deer. My wife's dog would freak out if left outside for any extended period of time. :rolleyes:

Thirty years ago I never thought I'd be looking at 60 year old women, either!

30 years ago, if you told me my future wife in 2021 looked hotter than Kathleen Turner at around the same age in the same year, I thought they'd be loco.

I made sort of the same comment in bed watching TV with my wife couple years back. Not certain if she found it funny or not.

Being she is still with you... I bet she appreciated it... she just wants to keep you wondering... besides if she found it offensive... you would know... :)

So, unfortunately we are not gardening our property this year (do to some issues) & compared to all your gardens I would be embarrassed to post ours this year.... but this is the earliest we have had peppers ready to pick in CT (started picking last week), tomatoes seem to be doing well.... beet green doing great.., eggplants (I'm hopeful)... the rest we'll see... This is the smallest garden (& it is small) we have done in the past 8 yrs (& not on our property)... we will see how it produces...

I remember that soil well from my uncles place in NW MA.
Potatoes seems to like it though.

We've had massive amounts of rainfall lately, so they're all trying to split. As a result I'm picking them early and letting them ripen inside. So they're all either split, or ripened off the vine, or both.

I was a little concerned about this, but this is the first mater I've had and it was delicious! Didn't look the best on the outside, but the meat looked good and tasted great!

I can't imagine it without mayo. In fact, there's not much I won't put mayo on.
