let's see your veggie garden {pics}

[janetta007]

Well at least I got a cantaloupe growing. This did not quite make it to the compost pile and started to bloom so I figured I'd let it grow out.

 

[Knucklehead]

Hey, that's progress. Before you know it, you'll have more of them than you'll know what to do with.

[janetta007]

I do have some veggies growing besides tobacco. Here is a few pics to look at.

 

[Brooksy]

Iowa is WAAYYYY behind TX. Besides planting 16 tobacco plants yesterday I put in 25 tomatoes, 18 cabbage and 10 tomatillos. Last falls plant of garlic looks great. Onions and radishes are up as are the potatoes. put in about an acre of Bloody Butcher field corn a couple days ago too.
Still have alot left to plant. Mellons, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers etc......

Brooksy,
With your Bloody Butcher, identify a dozen of the largest stalks, and thin the ears to 1 per stalk. Allow those to completely dry in the field. If the ears are large enough, then you'll have some excellent blanks for corncob pipes.

Never thought about making pipes out of those huge ears. This is some really biig corn. Stalks are 12' tall and stalk bases are about as big as my wrist. The strain I have would easily have ears/cobs big enough for pipes.

 

[DGBAMA]

Interrupted my baccy work to put in some veggies today. No time for preservation of big harvest, so I only grow what we can enjoy fresh.
Green beans
Tomato
Peppers
Squash
Cucumber
Radish
A few melons
Jerusalem artichoke

Home Sweet Home

Today I noticed that one of the hundred year old silver maples in my front yard is home to a hive of honeybees. How sweet is that? Honey and maple.

They are surprisingly difficult to photograph. I took 14 different shots of numerous bees coming and going. I could identify bees in only two of the photos.

I also have a hive between the inner and outer walls of my pump house.
