Picked up this Covington planter from a friend and I planted a five acres of flowers with it once before so it will be the tits!

Peas coming up, squash and zucchini about to bloom and tomatoes finally looking like they will make something. Cucumbers about ready to latch on the baskets in the next few days.

got some cucumbers and squash growing. Tomatoes and jalepenos are blooming. Peas are looking good. Storm on weds laid all my sweet corn down. I stood it back up and staked it. We will see what happens

That sucks... Your corn was looking good! If it's any consolation I just planted mine as well as okra and beans they're not even out the ground yet and with the pounding rain we've had not sure if it will... Also another consolation I had a major crabgrass problem and reluctantly I chose to spray it... I accidentally used crop oil instead of surfactant and it killed every single one of my blooming cantaloupes!

I stood it all back up and staked it with cut up chinaberry sticks lol. Maybe it will make it. I lost one mater and one cucumber plant. Everything else is growing great. If my field will ever dry out so I can get the tractor in there I'm gonna try and get the wildlife mix planted. Came home last night and and a bull stud mounter bobwhite was running across my yard. Ive been hearing them more and more in the afternoons. Makes me smile

Took awhile but got it stood back up. Survived the storm yesterday and looked like some of the crooked ones had stood up

Roma tom (the only mater plant I have) is starting to put on fruits, squashes are blooming, been picking beans for a couple weeks but they're starting to slow production down the past few days, Cukes are flowering pretty heavy now and I saw the first fruit forming on the vine yesterday.

Garden 5-23.jpg
Zucchini and Watermelons on the bottom left are doing really well. Far right tommy toes are starting to produce fruit now. Peppers (top right) aren't doing much yet.
Corn (top left) was about 2 feet tall but got mowed down by what I thought was a rabbit. Turns out it was my wife's Shih Tzu. Time will tell if an ass whipping fixed that problem.

I got a male Chessie that will eat just about anything in the garden
