I just wanted to thank you for mentioning something other than potatoes.....I like your photos. It all looks very healthy .My stuff is growing good, and in a couple of weeks - i'll be glad to post pictures of everything. But,there will be no pictures of potatoes.Maybe next year ?

Are the black pots sunk into the ground as collars, or are you actually growing the broc and squash in the containers? Everything looks so healthy.

I'm thinking of growing my zuke's in containers this year as there's not much room around here.

Yes, the pots have the bottoms cut out, I find they work quite well as early season protection from wind.

Pat, you de man!!! Great veggies and pics, sir. Yesterday, my wife picked(?) her first cabbage and had it for supper last night. I had to put up with her yummms the whole time... lol
The rain this week missed us and we sure need it. Noticed some of my corn starting not to uncurl during the night and we know that is not good.

Hehe I rarely take pics of my potatoes, they don't change much.

But my garden, well that changes almost daily. All these are on my blagh, but I'll post the most current here as well...

Looks like you have "bronze arrow" lettuce as well, Sinfo. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite varieties.

Thank you, P.
Could you possibly stop cutting the bottoms out of those planters and just send them to me?

The plants, I mean. LOL

here's my current growth,sorry about the picture -my box is so long, it's hard to take a good photo of it.

Wow, that is quite engineered!

Here is a snapshot of another crop that I grow, willy-nilly. I can easily see five of these fine young ratkins at once, in the middle of the day. Mature fellows are up to three times as big, when there are a lot of them ole boys I have to start trapping and poisoning....

What, y'all don't like rats? How speciest of you. Maybe the compost forum people will appreciate of good rat when they see one........

Thanks for the compliment, Pat. As far as the rat goes - they make good target practice.A few cold ones, and a pellet gun = lots of entertainment.

i actually have to buy a few rats every couple weeks to feed my pet snakes. didnt realize how easy it was to grow my own.
