It's squash season. Wont be long before people start hiding from us afraid we will be bringing more squash for them . Have to give credit to my wife. She is amazingly creative at 1,287,644,429 different ways to prepare squash! Rest of garden on fire as well. Bush beans starting to crank, tomatoes kicking in, just picked the rest of the onions and garlic to cure, all the potatoes are up, egg plant producing, cucumbers rolling,Kale, salad greens collards chard all prolific, lots of beets, berries... and on the list goes.

One day i want to have a garden that is half as productive as yours!

Anyone used azomite and if so how and what do you think?

Great looking harvests Rusty, your graden has it going on!

I use Azomite and am very happy with the results. I can’t speak of it exclusively being that I mix it with 2 other products, greensand and minerals plus.

I typically mix the 3 and sprinkle it over my beds when prepping for each growing season. Then just kind of work it into the top layer of compost.

We added a fertilizer factory to our garden, lol.





They make gardening so much funner!

Dang Johnny, that one healthy looking garden!! ...absolutely beautiful!

From flooding and having to replant some of the garden 3 times, now we're having to water... but so far, so good! Everything is looking really nice. Crows hit the corn patch right after it started to sprout and they took out some sections of some of the rows, however it didn't end well for them... They got some corn, but they didn't digest those #7 1/2 too well...:







Still doin' a little berry pickin' too... bout 2 gallons + every 3 days...

Thanks Charlie! I used 6 ft cages on my tomato plants for the first time this season and that is the trick; gives them plenty of support to keep on going. I also use mushroom mulch straight from the Monterey Mushroom farm in Madisonville. GOOD STUFF! Your garden is looking real good. I might have to look into growing blackberries after slobbering over your blackberry cobbler pics!

[czechgrubworm]

The pollinator garden is coming along nicely... now if the tomatoes that are set would ripen!







We have more lettuce, Swiss chard, numerous varieties of kale, and red vein sorrel in the garden than salads we can eat. I think I will have to transplant seedlings next year instead of direct seeding, I went overboard this year.

Are these annuals? They are beautiful....

I found three caterpillars eating my parsley yesterday. After I killed them I discovered they were swallowtails to be.

Oops

I'd rather have the swallowtails than the parsley.

Johnny, those dang blackberries are about the easiest thing we've ever planted! Got 2 rows about 80 feet long and my wife and daughter planted 2 MORE ROWS a couple weeks ago!! We're gettin' enough berries now for a truck farm. I don't have a clue what she's gonna do with all the berries next year!!

Hoped to pick the first celebrity tomato today and looks like something is getting it before I do. Also have a similar spot on a banana pepper as the green tomato.
