Baymule's 2016 Garden

[baymule]

@baymule add some old bay seasoning to a quash patties. & I can't get my seeds to germinate in this dry spell.

I'd be delighted to send you some RAIN seeds! We have more than enough this year!

Congrats on the squash! I've got little babies growing on mine now, but at least they are growing, lol.

I love fresh squash. I like mine sliced and sauteed in butter.

Here is a double row of tomatoes, two cow panels long. The cardboard is to hold down the weeds. Thank you @Ridgerunner for the cow panel idea!! We put bird netting over the tomatoes. There are two large oaks to the right of the picture that are outside of the garden. We usually have a motley collection of outdoor chairs under their cooling shade.

This is another double row of tomatoes, one cow panel long. There is a volunteer pumpkin growing next to the cow panel. The lovely green ground cover is weeds. These are also covered by bird netting. The green garden gate is to the right and a row of black oil sunflowers is to the left.

Tomatoes!! We can't wait. Last year's efforts produced tomatoes that rotted from the top and bottom at the same time. The chickens got tomato mush, so at least they benefitted. Do I have a lot of tomatoes planted? Durn betcha I do!

This one is for you @seedcorn

The yellow squash, 2 rows, are loaded! The vines are big, healthy and blooming. A couple rows over, are yellow patty pan squash and most didn't come up, the ones that did are pitiful looking. They were planted later, but that's no excuse for lagging behind like they are doing. @majorcatfish here's some garden pictures! I'll get some more tomorrow.

Maybe these will catch up. If they don't, at least we'll have tons of yellow crookneck squash.

I planted sunflowers on the fence. On one end, closest to the gate, they are big and healthy. On the other end, they are small and sickly looking. I sure can tell where the pigs favorite pooping places were!

In this picture you can clearly see the small sunflowers. Sad, lousy soil. Needs lots of TLC! That's the hugel bed behind the fence. The chickens have attacked it and scratched dirt and mulch off of it. I planted a winter squash on top, it didn't grow, so I planted some more, several times. Now I have something growing on it, but don't know what it is.

Just had a look, that's some nice country! In you earlier pictures, don't remember seeing the Pine trees. You guys are really doing a job on that garden this year. Great!
