Plants are all coming up, the garbanzo beans however are not doing too well, reseeded three times. I need to cage the tomatoes and put up lines up for the climbing beans.

Reseeded some of the rows then same day I received the rain I wanted. Still deciding if I want to borrow/ rent a truck to buy some cattle/ hog panels to make some arched trellis.

Got rain today, still watered when I got home. Many rows of plants starting to creep upward.

I finished out the majority of the main garden, still need to staple the fence edges down and add rocks.

Got the expansion to the garden done yesterday, took 2 1/2 hours still could have done more to it, but ran out of time as I had rented the tiller. Found quite a number of large rocks, I still believe this area was either a creek bed or they used a lot of rocky fill back in the 70's. It rained...

Mine came back this year.

Just finished bringing in all seedlings back in from the back porch as we are supposed to get back to back frosts...

Added additional hive bodies, painted three more groups of boxes, and harvested my first bunch of asparagus from the bed.

Took today off for family matters, once that was taken care of I got to have half a day to myself. Got most of the plants in the basement potted up and taken out to the porch to harden off. big storms to roll through tonight.

Better weather today, dug out mulch from the pile, to help with erosion. pulled weeds from the garlic patch. Back yard still to wet to mow, swapped to weed-eater mowed everything else. Front Garden is still too wet to till. Asparagus bed is fruiting, third year so I should be able to harvest...

Garden is still too wet to expand, back yard is a swamp. Bees are doing well, finished three additional hives. Plants in the basement need to be up-potted before they become root bound.

Seedlings have come un in the basement, outside is a swamp and becoming more of one as this day progresses. Ruff weather (good sleeping nights are supposed to happen tonight, see how many tornado alarms I can sleep through this time. I am finding my onion seeds just are not playing this year...

Started some more egg plant, salvia, and peppers in the basement. Weather decided to get cold/wet again.

Got the tomatoes seeds, pepper, onions, egg plants all started in the basement. got to push to have them on their way.

I agree, I am growing just for the family but still not great.
