Crazy how fast they been growing. Your lettuce is growing incredible.

Late start but put in a few watermelon plants in away from the main garden. And a couple pickling cucumbers

Shhhhhh. Grass clippings are the secret. No tarp, no weeds, and as they decompose they fertilize. Also they provide heat and retain moisture. Don't tell anyone.

Yeah I know grass clippings are good but I don't get any. I have sand and shade so all I grow is moss.

Wish I had Jersey tomato from my garden already. You got a early start

Anyone make their own sprinkler system for the garden. I made mine from 1/2" PVC pipe. Put a shut off valve on it and that's how adjust the distance the water shoots out. All I did was drill tiny holes where I want the water to come out. I drill on a angle so it shoots upwards some and across the garden.

Nice sprinkler, Buck154.   

Hard to believe that nice basket full of veggies already.  Must have had a jump on the game somehow??  Greenhouse?

I used grass clippings for a few years until I put it on too thick around the potatoes and burned up the plants.  That stuff was smoking hot(like a wet hay bale).   It was also adding weed seed to the garden.  I used wood chips for a couple years.  Got them for nothing at the landfill.  They also worked well. I tilled them into the soil in the fall.  Wood chips hold moisture, and decay into really good soil.

I don't have a cool garden like some of you other folks, but I do grow some perennials (because I am too lazy to take care of annuals).

 

This year is going to be a bumper crop year for hazelnuts.  I've been growing them for about 17 years now, and I've never had more on the bush in previous years.

 

Here is some information from Rutgers about the hazelnuts I'm growing and the studies they're doing:  http://agproducts.rutgers.edu/hazelnuts/
