Garden update by gagrice

I should be getting a good crop of tomatoes very soon. First planting of corn is about 6 ft tall now. Purple potatoes are lush with lots of flowers. Not sure how many potatoes under the garden. I will have 6 varieties of tomatoes and just planted seeds fellow poster Chris sent me. I will post pics when they get up and producing. State is cutting back on water, so not sure how that will impact us yet.

Nice, Gary! Is that a model train track you've got running around the flower bed in the first photo?

Yes, at Christmas I get out my G scale trains and run them for the grandkids. The garden kind of takes over come spring time.

Corn hits 8 foot by gagrice

The corn is tasseling. No silk yet. Wife went out to oil it today. Considering our temps are about 15 degrees below normal this Spring I guess the corn is doing ok. Not near enough sun so far this year. I'll bet the folks up North would like a little global warming about now. Plums are nearly ripe. Nothing like last years crop. Good thing we made lots of jam and brandy last year. Still have plenty left. Good peach, grape and apple crop and not a single cherry on 8 trees. I think the late frost got em.

Pretty fun. Our plums are getting big (for us) but won't be ripe for a few more weeks. We're about 50% higher than average for rainfall for the whole month already. The grapes seem to be going gangbusters and we're going to have about 3 dozen blooms on two prickly pear cactuses. And we're eating some leaf lettuce and arugula now.
 
Did you know that every single silk goes to a single niblet on the cob?

That's odd... I thought every single silk went to a spot between each of my teeth

Pumpkins by ateixeira

The good news is these are taking off. The bad news is they make use up all the space in my garden, and I won't have a crop until October.
 
Cherry tomatoes also are coming in strong. Too early for fruit but I can just tell it'll be a good year for those.

That's why you grow the pumpkins around the corn in all that unused space!
