Since retiring, I've been able to devote more time to becoming the gardener that I always wanted
to be. Below are some pictures of my first year's progress.
Old tractor tires make great raised beds for planting
New leaf lettuce plants, planted in a barrel, just starting to poke through.

Baby sunflowers and tiny summer squash starting to poke through the soil

Tomato plants right after planting in the dog kennel.

Tomato beds...surrounded by a dog kennel to protect if from the ponies and a stray
accorn squash plant

The photos at the left were take on July 1. The plants in containers ...tomatoes...aren't
doing as well as the plants in the dog kennel.
I will probably use the containers for herbs next year instead of tomatoes.
|
Nevertheless, it was a successful harvest. Now that I am retired I decided it was time
to start learning how to can. For this year I stuck with the tomatoes...as I was told they are a 'no brainer'....just my speed.
Next year we hope to be much more productive.
