My 2013 Garden - Page 2

madddawg · July 20, 2013

22 days went by in between my first photos and these. What a difference! click between page 1 and page to to see what I mean.
I will start another thread on my irrigation system.

Brandywine pink looking good, last year I picked one that weighed a little over 2lb.

Cherokee Purple

Better Boys

Big Cherries

Celebrity are getting close to kicking into high gear. Eating a few already.

More Celebrity.

I like growing my cucumbers on a fence, easier to pick, and takes up less garden space.

3 of my Zucchini died for some reason.

madddawg · July 27, 2013

Some of My cherry tomatoes are over 10' tall now.

And the Better Boys are over 6'

Picked my first Brandywine today, it weighed 14OZ, sadly it had a bad spot on and had to throw away 1/4 of it.

Thanks Alfredo, I appreciate the comments,I have lots of hard word work in this. It isn't easy doing this by myself after working all day and my weekends. But I love to do it. I just wish my job wasn't so hard on me so I could spend more time in the garden. I am A mason tender (Laborer for masons) by day, gardener by night. being 43 yrs old the body is breaking down a bit.

Your garden is beautiful! Your hard work sure shows. It is so neat and weed free. Very well tended. Even your soil looks great.

You should be proud.

Awesome garden, looks like a lot of hard work went in to it. I only have a 2' by 10' strip to manage right now. Got a ways to go before I'm on that level...lol

madddawg · August 9, 2013

MissS · August 17, 2013

It sure looks like a wonderful harvest. Certainly no passerby could not notice your great offerings. Hope that it is a very successful weekend for you! I sure would stop and get some for my family.

Nice Tomato's you'll be rich before long,
Bill Gates, George Soros and Warren Buffet will soon be
beating down your door to find out your secret.

Reminds me of A little quote I saw a lil while back,....a few years ago we had Steve Jobs. Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Now we have no Jobs, no Cash and no Hope... lets hope we dont lose Kevin Bacon.
