    Nice layout. Finally got most of mine planted, all I lack is the corn which will go in this weekend. Thanks for posting.

    I've got mine planted too but Old Man Winter is playing hell with it. My early garden, onions and sweet peas, are doing well. My snap beans got hit by a frost and I had to replant them. Then the replants got hit a little by frost which burnt the leaves a little but they are still growing and some have flowers. It's been a tough Spring, cold and dry. Night before we got 4 inches of rain that we needed badly, I'm sure that will help everything. Glad to hear about others that plant gardens, to me gardening and growing fig trees is almost as much fun as fishing.

    MY onions


    Sweet peas, you can see how dry it was by the cracks in the ground.


    Snap beans a few weeks ago, they're nicer now.

    Nice garden Gene. The cold snap did get to my cucumbers, so they were replanted. Looks like I'm going to have some serious peaches this year as well. I'll take some pictures of my garden and trees this weekend. I'm ready for some fresh home grown produce.

    PPG my neighbor has 2 pear trees and a nice fig tree that I maintain. She wants nothing to do with them. I usually send her old Dad a couple pints of fig preserves and mostly give away the pears. I also finally planted today. I reduced the size of my garden this year and did not plant beans. I'll take pictures in a few days when things start standing up better. I plant my okra with last years seeds , so that will be a while. But they sure have produced well in the past. Crappiecatcher06, may I ask what the pvc around the plants is for? Danny

    The PVC helps against cut worms and wind when plants are young I used gallon cans in the past

    Took picture of my little garden. Reduced size a little this year. Okra breaking through but so little can't see on photo yet. I have 4 tomatoes, 3 bell peppers, 2 eggplants. 2 yellow squash, 2 zuchini, one cucumber(about six seeds, first try on this) and 6 okra. Usually plenty for us. I'll have to hit the veg. stand for snap beans and purple hulls. DannyName:  IMAG0270.jpg

    Nice little garden Danny. Good thing it's in that fenced back yard, otherwise the rabbits would get to it. I have a two foot rabbit fence around mine. Only 4 tomato plants? We had six last year and it wasn't enough. Love fresh maters sliced every night during the season. Also went to six cucumbers this year for the same reason. All my bell peppers are the red type, and I do two plantings with the potatoes during the season. Red potatoes are about a foot tall now. Once harvested, I'll plant sweet potatoes for the Fall. Corn is planted and is now popping up. All citrus trees are good, and it appears I may have avocados this year as well! I planted a certain type of avocado tree that should do well here in south LA a couple of years ago. Appears the buds on it are set finally. Love those things, slice them and eat them like candy. Thanks for the post my friend. As Gene said, almost as fun as fishing.
