Anyone Gardening this year ?

jcmc yes the kids love it and it doesn't go fast so I'm not worried about them running into anything. But when people ask me what made you get a little tractor like that for, I tell them I bought it for Patti my wife ! Patti has few choice words about that, so when the kids ask me to start the tractor so they can drive around I make them ask their Mom for permission to drive her tractor. I got 4 types of lettuce and green unripe tomato so far and broccolli just heading. My cabbage and cailuflower got hit bad by flea beatles there alive but barely, I dusted them with sevin dust but with all the rain it needs to be done every other day.

We have had the wetest July ever I believe 28 days of rain out of 31, I guess it's better then a drought. I now have champion size rag weed and can't get a tractor in the field till it dry up some more. Got lots of green tomato's coming along and broccoli.

My mom told me this story last year of how my sister brought home this pretty little plant from the rez last year, and took it home to Tennesee and planted it in the backyard and nurtured it and took good care of it. It finally bloomed this pretty little flower and that's when dad says.. Tree, you have successfully cultivated Ragweed.. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

M broccoli came up and sooner than I could pick it we got flowers, I have a few more plants that I'll get out today but dissappointed about the others and the fact the they will be small- no larger than a baseball really.

with all of the rain we had through June- everything is doing very poorly. one corn per stalk!!! dang it!

My broccoli I grew this year is a open pollination type ($8.00 a oz. of seed) compared to hybred type ($46 a oz. of seed). The open pollination type heads only get 4 -6 inch heads and they bolt or flower quickly and together. So one day I have a nice looking broccoli patch and the next day its a yellow flower garden. There are several types of fall planted broccoli I am considering trying, you plant in September and pick late April early May they grow thru the winter. They don't make large heads but you can plant them closer and they only get 18 inches tall. Our ground now is so hard packed I broke my new potato fork digging my potato's. And the deer have located my corn and invited all their buddies for after dark dinner.
