I took pictures today

[Gardening with Rabbits]

Cucumbers have a lot of flowers, the poles for the pole beans are about 7 feet tall, I picked 2 pounds of pole beans today and did not get all of them, DH and I picked a gallon of raspberries. The picture with the gold on top are the first to make it to the house without being eaten, Sunsation peppers are waiting to turn yellow, Sunshine and Lulu the top producing fertilizer sisters. The tomatoes are small. I am not sure what they are. We have been eating a few cherry and the first tomatoes got ate without a picture. They were Bloody Butcher and were VERY good. Only thing, they are small and not many on a plant. The 2 walnut trees are loaded. We had some yellow squash last night and I might pick some for tonight and the blackberries are loaded.

Your garden is being very productive GWR! Wow, what a lot of raspberries too. Mine are coming ripe now, they're the gold ones. For some unknown reason I no longer have reds, the golds have taken over.

Everything looks very healthy. Must be all the help you get from Lulu and Sunshine.

Beautiful garden! Those blackberries are going to be huge when they're ripe!

Thank you for the nice comments! I think a lot of it is the rabbit manure. It also produced a bumper crop of weeds. I cannot show my onions. It is just a big weed patch and the garlic is overgrown now. The peas feel over, all kinds of things wrong, but it is producing a lot of food. The raspberries are just crazy. I planted 20 canes next to the shed several years ago. They are taller than the shed. The neighbor put up a 6 ft. fence last year and I was afraid the raspberries would not get enough sun, but I think it helped them. Most are taller than the fence and some are 3 feet above that! All I do is put compost and rabbit manure in there and in the spring we cut the dead canes. I do not touch them in the fall.

Beautiful garden! Those blackberries are going to be huge when they're ripe!

The blackberries are Triple Crown. I also have Apache, but the Triple Crown taste better and are bigger.

The trick is finding the location they like, for me it is near total shade, I have a southern growing variety, but they still prefer shade in our area (they do get morning sun, but that is it)

Glad to see things are going so well for you there. Looking forward to seeing your blackberry crop pics!

Thanks for that shade tip kassaundra. There is a fig tree close by that I hope will provide a little shade next year. I plan to keep it small so it shouldn't be a problem providing too much shade in the future.
