Default How Grows Yall GArdens??

How grows it yall? Camera crapped out so no p[ics this weekend but we picked our first bowl of snap beans, enough to smother down with a lil bacon onion and share our first fruit with a neighbor. In true Cajun fashion she returned our bowl with a slice of carrot cake in it. It's a neighborhood tradition that when ya return a dish ya put something in it. We are eating strawberries from our lil patch, few ever make it in the house cause we stop by several times A DAY GRAZING The Jap plums are ready for their first picking, the yum-yum nectarines are ping pong ball sized and the paw paws are still very small and still have flowers. I will try to pick up a new camera this weekend and get some pics but till then how goes it in yall's yard?

I'll get some pics when I get off of work this afternoon, but mine aren't looking too good. I may need some expert advice!

Try 2 dude just to be safe. Also remember when they first come out put bird netting on them. I said I would this year, forgot and now there is a precious few fruit remaining.

I just looked and at the end of their selections it tells you whats out or out of season so i'll contact them monday. I got problem with blackbirds when my blackberries are just about finish and others when the figs come in . Thinking about getting one of them auto deer feeder motors and put a short piece of twine with some sticks to hit on some aluminum pie plates 4 or 6 times a day. My main problem is coons and i'm a mile away from nearest woods...people around me don't keep their yard clean and don't even realize they raising them.

checked on the corn I planted when I went to the farm yesterday. Most is coming up nicely, think I had some issues with the little planter.

What do I do about my tomater plants out growing my tomato cages? Do I just let them grow out onto the ground? Or is there another way to keep em kind of contained?

Let them grow or get another cage and stack it on top of the ones already in place. Use so.e bailing wire to tie the together.

I pole my tomato's and remove all suckers and after the fifth cluster of flowers top them off...I find vegetables too close or too many produce less ...
