that is a nice garden I wish my back yard was as big as yours

Wow wish I had that space. Looks great

I'll second what Chicago said. You have a nice roomy garden to work. You would be surprised to see my itty bitty garden. Beautiful view of Indiana farmland.

Do you need to water, or do you get rain? What's growing on the right? What's on the tall pole?

I predict a bountiful harvest for you. Thanks for sharing.

We have been getting anywhere from 1/2"- 1 1/2" of rain a week. No need to water. Bird house on the tall pole. Corn field on the right. I have about 40 tomatoe plants, 50 pepper plants, watermelon, cataloupe, green beans, okra, strawberries, potatoes, onions, pickles, cukes, mustard, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, radishes, lettuce, bush peas, & snap peas. First year that my parents & I have combined gardens.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing! I love pictures of others gardens. It is inspiring.

Is that a corn field in back ground?

Yes it is a corn field to the right of the garden.

Looks nicely weeded and a good garden!

Great looking garden! You are very lucky to get the rain you have. Here, just north of Nashville, IN we've been in a really dry spell. I finally put in my sweet potatoes yesterday and this morning we got somewhere around a quarter of an inch of rain. Everything has done well except the spinach, beets and carrots. Will have to do a second planting of them later in the year. Hope you get tons of produce from your wonderful garden.

Flat stone-free land like we dream about out here. I guess the only problem is when they spray the cornfield...

this is kind of off subject but was wondering why you put a purple martin house next to the garden? I have 3 of them but keep them away so they don't attract them. Just curious.

Here's my garden.

Muskmelons in the near bed, tomatoes behind them.

To the right are sweet peppers and Dragon Tongue bush beans.

To the left are pommegranate "trees".

In the back (you can barely make it out) are the peach tree and boysenberry vines on the ladder thing.

I didn't have a lot of space when I was planning everything, and I made a few mistakes on placing the poms to the south of the veg beds, but it somehow seems to work out anyway:).

Purple Martins eat flying insects so you want them around and they will not harm your garden.
