Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

Got four hills and 11 plants of diva cucumber planted today. Supposed to be 12 plants but one was missing in action. Will have to pull a seed plot and throw one in there. Also got a lot of cages up for more with cucumbers and tomatoes that needed to be caged up, I have 36 inch tall potatoes. Not sure if that’s any good but they’re the ones that are mixed with the onions. I’ve been fertilizing the onions so we’ll see what happens. They have plenty of potassium and phosphate along with that powder to keep them from getting like mush I forgot what they call it but Put a bunch of that on the taters. Looking forward to checking that out. Little lady put some strawberries in one of my flower barrels. It’ll be a good feeding post for squirrels and grackles ! She also put some lettuce for the rabbits out to eat in the spice garden, we’ll see what happens there lol.
Not sure where this one onion came from, but it's right in the middle of my two rows of garlic. I didn't plant it there, I know that much! It's already forming a nice size bulb.
Over the weekend it rained all day Saturday plus I was gone to a Cubs game so I didn't get anything done but yesterday I got a couple more tomatoes planted and put dirt in 5 more grow bags, which I put where the kids swingset ladder used to be. Pictures later once it's all planted, but I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Might be temporary for this year only if I make it into a raised bed next year, or I might keep them as grow bags in that squre.
