Happenings from the Bush homestead

My garden on July 7, 2006

My helpers watering the beans and tomatoes and hoeing out the weeds.  The corn is behind them.  Some on the West end didn't do so well.  I think it was either the ants, or the variety.  I planted 3 blocks of 3 different varieties of corn.  The West block didn't do well.  The middle and East blocks have done much better.  My garden is growing good.  The peas I replanted the other day are already coming up.  Zuccini and cucumbers are sprouting and growing fast!

  Peas Cucumbers

 Zuccinni

A cluster of tomatoes that I can NOT wait to eat!

 And I'll leave you with an itsy bitsy fruit that will be delicious when fully grown!

We've been out and watered a little and weeded some this morning already.  While it was still cool.  I have a huge tree though that shades the garden for 1/2 the day.  I wish it was gone, but no one will take care of it for me.  It's already been 6 yrs that I've been asking.  I'm sure it will be another 6 or more and it will still be shading my garden most of the day.  I may change things up next year and plant tomatoes to the West...beans/peas/peppers in the middle and the zuccinni and mellons on the East section.  Corn will stay where it's at to the North. 

 Ok...one more photo *lol* I couldn't resist this onion flowering out.

(I tried to make the photos small so that it would load ok for diap upers like myself.)

The Garden looks great!

I am delighted to have found your spot. It was fun to see how your garden is growing. We don't have a good spot at this house in the woods for a garden so we have just our herb beds. We go every week to a local farm that sells memberships and get our "goods". Blessings on your day

I love your garden! I'm going to have to pick your brain often Jen! I planted peas and hummm...dead. That was new for me so I'll have to learn what soil they love. I have a little garden, but big enough for pumpkins and onions and zucchini. My zucchini have always done super. Ok, onions; I'm growing them and this year they didn't die so I'm laughin because they flower? LOL! I'll post some pictures of my garden tomorrow maybe you can stop by and take a peek.
Thanks so much for posting all those great pictures!
Blessings, Theresa
