Garden at the RV Park - Veggies or No Veggies? That is the Question

Garden was planted in early June.
(double click photos to enlarge)
Photos on left taken 7/7..... Same area today 8/5






We got lots of foliage. 5 Squash so far.

The pumpkin plant - Look how much it's grown - NO fruit yet. Will we be carving in October?















........... and only green tomatoes on the vines.





We got some seeds started in May, planted garden in early June - AFTER the frost - it was a late one this year.

We are getting hungry for tomatoes, maybe in the next week or so....

More later.

Cedar Tree Planting on the Ranch - June

In June, we planted cedar trees.


These cedar plugs were given to us by a neighbor. We borrowed the pots from another neighbor. There were 40 of these little babies.


George planted 15 along the driveway - in front of the pole barn.


...and 12 along the curve around the big rock.


Post Hole digger loaned by yet another neighbor. A lot of community input in this project. But the sweat and grunts were all George's.




Our local nursery man, Terry, recommended White Clover as a ground cover. He claims the deer will come for that and leave the vegetable garden alone... we'll have to see how that goes....


Here is a young cedar, the clover just taking hold, and our original irrigation system, which has gone thru a few iterations since Day One.






The trees have been named and measured and they just keep growing. They seem to like the heat.





George planted another 7 cedars on the drive up to our house.
