That's a good-looking garden, Tavy. What is under the hoop cover? I'm guessing squash to keep the borers and squash bugs out (?)
That first cup of coffee tastes great, doesn't it? And to have it looking at the results of your labor makes it even better.
Downloading will be easy from now on -- nice job.

Looks great Tavy! I'm jealous of that big raised bed and the timbers around it. That's what I need. : )
What kind of broccoli did you plant? That's huge!

Thanks Christie and Sunny. The hoop house is built over a couple of raised beds (plopped down on top of old tree stumps) holding my artichoke plants. There are some herbs tucked in to over winter. Pots of late tomatoes will be pulled inside to get a little extra mileage. Next year I'll put shade cloth over the top for a cooler climate for my chokes. Just to the left on the screen you can see my branch cucumber hut. I raised the bed using old roofing shingles held together with left over strap electric fence tape. Christie, those 'timbers' are rotten 1 x 10's from a collapsed carport. It's funky but works. I've raised as many areas as I can with anything I can find. Here's a picture taken in May that shows a few more raised beds. The few inches of height makes a huge difference in drainage here.

Can't resist showing off this little guy... picture taken on May 22.

That broccoli is a purple sprouting variety. I started it in February... expecting Spring broccoli. Now I'm waiting for Fall broccoli. It may never flower! I'll let you know what happens.

I got a bit carried away here. :-) So much fun sharing...
Thanks for again for your comments!

Where are the bugs? Where are the weeds? You aren't sitting with coffee long with a neat garden like that. That artichoke looks yummy. I thought they weren't hardy.

Great pictures; I am so glad you figured it out. It is not too many. I love the pictures.

Lovely shady spot for coffee. I call that 'surveying my kingdom!'.

I almost planted that sprouting broccoli, but figured my climate might not be the best for it so stuck with the old spring type. Let us know how that one turns out.
