looking good buddy my corn is coming up to all over there place haha any body know anything about ant crawling all over my okra? and yes i know its to early for okra i just couldnt wait
 
Nice beds! Those potatoes are going crazy!

I'm no help with ants on orka... I don't have any issues with the ants we get, they nibble a little but generally are no bother at all.

I can't believe you have orka in, or even corn! I have to wait until April 15th... don't wanna risk it.

Yea, i have the same thing every year, they don't seem to hurt anything, mainly gather around the flower buds. The first year i spayed a mixture of ivory soap and water to try and get them off, but soon realized there was not a difference in production on my plants that had ants and ones that did not.

I finally finished the picket fence and put my last raised bed in the garden last weekend. I have half of my garden planted:

Here's my newest one...

This is how I assemble mine. Quick and easy and I don't need any help from hubby. The boards are rough cut red oak which is very hard wood and also very affordable. They will last a long time, but as the stakes or boards do rot, they are easily replaced one at a time.

This is my strawberry bed that we built last year, as it was in progress... It was built from salvaged lumber. The wood was so aged, I didn't worry about it being treated.

Here are the three small 3x4' beds I put in last spring

Here is a long narrow bed I built along the chicken yard fence - I used OOOOLLLLDDDD timbers that look like they were used for fence posts, long before we bought the farm, for the edging:

I'm ashamed of how trashy mine look now that I've looked at everyone else's beds. :hide

Onions, broccoli, and kohlrabi are looking really good. Tomatoes and peppers finally in the ground (er...tires). The potatoes are still hiding, I should probably go check them tomorrow, I would have thought they'd be up by now. The beds are 3x6. To me they are the perfect size.
