Last week I told you that our garden needed some TLC. My “want to” was lacking until this weekend. :-) Jeff went between the rows with the little electric tiller. It worked pretty good. I worked on getting the grass out of the rows and I was SORE from hoeing (don’t laugh) and pulling grass! So, here is the before…
Pretty sad looking. You can’t tell the grass and weeds from the plants! So, we worked on it off and off all weekend. We had this precious little helper that wouldn’t keep his hat on! I even tried his swimming hat that ties under his chin and that didn’t work either!
Finally Sunday night, it looked a little more like a garden!
Going from left to right…
Peppers, Corn, Corn, Tomatoes and Okra, Cantaloupe, Squash, Cucumbers
Our peppers are looking pretty good.
Corn is looking ok.
Tomatoes are looking good. Jeff put our cages up and some black cloth and mulch to try to limit the amount of weeds coming up around them.
Okra is looking ok. Cantaloupe…I wish it was better! I think we only have two plants that have popped out. We are thinking about planting a few more. Squash and cucumbers are starting to look pretty good.
We can’t forget about our strawberries…
Can’t wait to get some fresh veggies! Hopefully I haven’t bored you to tears!

That is so cool!! I wish we could so that!!
We have a garden, too! I HAVE to weed also. It gets out of control SO fast! We have pretty well planted Everything you can think of b/c my husband made about a 50 ft X 100ft garden!!! Lots of rows. Looking forward to this rain! Maybe we'll have to go into the fresh produce business! :)
That is very cool. Bret and I have always wanted our own garden.
I can't wait to eat your garden :) I can't have one since I'll be gone so much this summer, but I'm sure you'll share with us :)
