Ours is still looking good. Not sure on the total rain count as of yet but we are blessed just the same!



I wish someone would take our overflow 'maters (blue 5 gal bucket)!

If you were closer and I didnt already have 14 tomato plants and if I actually ate tomatoes, I might take you up on that offer [emoji33]

Here is my garden after 7 inches of rain. Hopefully all that work I did Saturday will save them.

36 tomato plants this year and 2 sweet 100's. I've planted up to 48 a few times but I couldn't give them away fast enough. We make a lot of fresh salsa.

I am so thankful for the Back to Eden gardening method! Our normal way would have washed away by now! Instead it is flourishing.

I went and checked on the garden yesterday evening (can't step in it yet or I will sink) and I see 2 of my tomato plants starting to wilt! This is fresh ground and I have never had a garden in this spot so I don't think it is tomato wilt. The reason I moved garden areas this year is because I was having tomato wilt the past 2 years in my old garden area. These 2 plants are doing the exact same thing as if they have tomato wilt. They were growing nice n healthy then went out the next day and they are wilting. I will go check the garden out at lunch to see if anymore plants are starting to do this. Big head scratcher...

I like your setup but I think you'll need a machete to walk through those rows here in a month haha

[Codypatt1]

Hopefully I will be close to pulling them up by then.
Those are my potatoes, only thing I don't do in the raised beds

Oh gotcha. ..I thought they looked a little off for tomatoes.
I saw where they made a tomato potato hybrid...pretty interesting. .

Wow, some beautiful gardens on here! Been a while since I’ve been on TBH but so glad I got on to find this thread, you guys don’t disappoint! Boys had been asking to plant a garden for some time now so finally got around to building some boxes and getting the project going. A little late for STX but nonetheless it’s a go!
First box we planted 2 types of cucumbers, bush beans and zucchini from seed. Also transplanted a couple jalapeno peppers.
Planted seed March 22.


Box as of this morning. Already did some thinning but will prob have to cull a few more.


After building the first box we got the bug and quickly began looking for space to do another. Really wish we had more space to work with but am very pleased with what we started with. This box has yellow/red onions and Yellow/Orange/Red Bells.
Got this box going April 3 and here’s what it looked like this morning.


Didn’t want to take up box space with the tomatoes so got them set up in large pots. 2 Cherry and 2 Roma with some basil. We also planted an assortment of peppers and herbs in pots. Gonna move the peppers to buckets!


Had an available sprinkler head not being used so I tapped into to it for irrigation. All the rain coming down these last few days and no rain for Laredo


My boys (5 and 6) have had an absolute blast and I can’t describe how rewarding it is to see kids want to learn so much about gardening. It’s our first attempt at growing veggies so will be sticking around this thread to keep learning and see the progress on you ‘alls gardens
