your beautiful dirt. Great looking garden!

I hope all your hard work provides you with bountiful harvest.

Lotta’ work went into that.

Just think of all the healthy and tasty bounty you’ll be enjoying in a short time!

Beautiful

And I apparently have a black one. 😱😂 seriously, everything I plant the deer decide is meant for them.

What part of the country are you?

I’m in 5a. What a difference one zone makes. Simply amazing.

Thanks for the pictures. I'll show them to my wife, she's the gardener in the family.
I expect she'll be a bit envious.

around the base of the plants? Like the tomatoes, mainly. This prevents tomato diseases and it also keeps the watering from evaporating.

But good question. I'd like to know the answer, too.

from the house to the garden, but prefer filling my loader bucket on my John Deere with water and take it down. From there I fill up watering cans and water every plant. Keeps me active and it's good exercise for an old man.

It looks so peaceful!💗

Beautiful, enormous garden and so much land! Bet all of your vegetables will be delicious.

Beautiful garden,
I`m 77 now, I don`t garden near as much as I used to . Fresh sweet corn, fried green tomatoes, green beans and different kinds of squash. I have 20 or so different kinds of fruit trees, thanks to arthritis I can`t prune them any more. I don`t think I`m alone but as soon as my garden is done it can snow. I have a good recipe for salsa if anyone wants it.

one tree produced not that many peaches, but they were nice size. The other tree was loaded with small size peaches, and their weight was breaking branches. I'm sure I need to prune off a lot of the branches. When is the best time to prune, fall or spring?

First frost predicted this Thursday morning. Going to miss my garden.

What are they?
PlantNet would be able tell me what they are..though I can’t be bothered at the moment..

an early spring storm is hackberry, elm, black walnut, etc.

I'm jealous of your entire yard AND garden

Thanks for your compliment.
