First fresh meal from the garden tonight. Zucchini and yellow squash with some tender green beans sauteed in owl bacon drippings, Spring is GOOD!!!
What part of the owl do you use to make bacon?
Been snacking on early blackberries, and sandplumbs from the land and blue berries and a couple tomatoes and peppers that made it out early. Still kicking myself for not getting some corn in the ground. Think it's too late for some late season ears?
Had one small crop of green beans for two people so far. The garden is looking sick from the excess rain and cloudy cover.
We have tomato's on the vine, but the vines are short and spindly. Took the green ones off hoping the vines would put more effort into producing vines, but they appear to be stagnant. Peppers are doing the same.

I take pride in a full, healthy, organized garden... no chance to brag this year, too many gaps from dead plants but what has survived is set to take off. With a little sunshine, we should be eating corn, squash, zuchinni and tomatoes soon. Dug up some shallots for the wife last night. Blackberry bush is doing great.
we had a few cucumbers and some toms, lots of japs are about ready to pull...looks like my garden experiment is working out very well. I may make a short youtube video about the system if I do Ill post it here.I may just do some pictures. With the bucket system I put together the excessive rain has had little impact on the garden, I put a drain on the back end of the bucket system so if it was raining all day I just opened the buckets up and let them drain. later I worried I may have lost some nutrients so I used the drip irrigation w/bucket/pump and added some liquid nutrients back to the system. the plants loved it.. I may give them some more this weekend since they are producing fruit. I have three part liquid nutrient product Its probably geared mostly for pot growers, but each bottle has a different mix, and there's a graph that lets me mix a batch for grow,bloom,and fruit.. anyway Im super happy with my setup... not sure how to use the green house this time of year the plant dont seem happy in there.. I don't have much setup in the way of ventilation, and my bucket garden waters it's self so I am neglectful to the green house plants.
. Thats not exactly conducive for 10k run n gun training but hey, it was worth it!
The deer found my green beans and cucumbers yesterday. I dusted them heavily with seven dust hoping what's left won't be palatable to them. Looks like they ignored the peppers and tomato's. For now.
Picked the first early girl and Roma tomatoes this morning.

Had a few early girls, a roma, and a green bell so far. And some strawberries. I've got the worlds largest squash has covered my compost bin completely but it's dropping blossoms because there isn't anything to pollinate them. Pecans are growing well and have 9/10 grafts pushing leafs.
Get a cheap battery operated tooth brush, the kind that vibrates.. you can use it to pollinate your lonely plants. I did this with some peppers last year and I doubled my crop.. just lightly touch the brush bristles to the flowers and you will see a little dust cloud of pollen puff up.
