4X8 raised beds...

Huge Sunflower play area for the girls....:-"

3 rows of children of the corn.

About the only thing rocking right now are the cucumbers and of course the sunflowers.....
Because they only need the sun and so far I haven't killed them......:blkeye::wall:

This thing blew up. I had to remove a couple plants but things have been growing well so far.

Another 4x8 will be going in next year.

Yeah, it takes some work to keep everything squared away in there!

So far the garden has done well. This pic is from last week. By Saturday there might be enough to
tomatoes to make a batch of sauce.

We have gotten so much rain this year my tomatos are all bursting prior to turning red. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Who knew Rusty could create a thread which actually sparks some discussion?

ROFL

Pick them before they burst and let them get ripe on a table or something outside. I'm having the same problem.

I was going to say ducktape but your idea might be a little better...

@TLDR20 most of these tomatoes were green a few days ago.

When I lived in Pittsburgh a girl I worked with's prior Marine dad had a garden and she would always bring in zucchini he had grown. That stuff was awesome. And you know when you can say zucchini is awesome... It is some pretty legit shit.

I gotta look into this garden thing.

Without warm nights tomatoes are less likely to redden on the vine. If you are looking to make sauce go to a farmers market to buy more. You will never produce enough.

If you like zucchini bread. Find your favorite recipe and grind up you portions for each and freeze. Come January you will have the smells of fresh bread baking in the house on a Sunday morning. My kids love waking up to it

I'm not too far north of you and you know how the summer has been, which is why a handful of tomatoes are sitting on the picnic table. The Romas on the other hand are doing well.

Good point on the zucchini. We've been making quite a bit of bread but I didn't think of shredding and freezing some for this winter.
