Started some veggies early. Fruit trees looking good. Rain has done wonders! Lots of weeding to do.

Tomatoes

I used to like growing veggies, but it got to be too much work weeding, watering, and pest control after the kids were born. Now I just stick to the veggies I'll eat daily. If I had the space and free water, I'd have nothing but fruit trees.

Looks good Mike.  I have to throw up some of my garden pictures since I just finally got it up and running last weekend.

Got my first papaya off of my little 3' tree! Was pretty sweet and flavorful.

Dang that looks nice.

At the Outrigger Canoe club in Hawaii, a popular dish for mornings is half papaya with cottage cheese in the middle.

I can't do either of these alone (bleh!) - but together - it's somehow magic ...

You either love or hate papaya, it's not for everybody.

Just planted some but still need more. Anyone seen Rutgers tomato plants anywhere? Those tasted best last year.

First tomato harvest.

Nice haul. I have 2 locations in the yard last years and a new one. The new one the tomato plants are monstrous and are just budding.

The old ones have fruit in process.

I've been having a fair harvest of tomatoes, zucchini and squash so far.  Not a fan of zucchini, so I dressed it up into pizza boats on the grill. Surprisingly very yummy!  Tomato slices inside from the garden also.  Making healthy food unhealthy!!!  lol

Tomato plants, 2 of them, growing completely out of control. Somewhere in there are cages they ate.  :o

White fly killed my tomato plants, but I had one last good harvest on Potatoes, Carrots, Zucchini, Squash, Peppers and Fresh Chicken Eggs!  Those damn chickens are starting to annoy me though.  I clipped their wing feathers and they can still fly high enough to get on top of the fence and coop.  Time to fatten them up so they can't get any lift off!

I don't see any roast chicken.

Dang, you planted all kinds of stuff! I just stuck with tomatoes. I wish I had fresh chicken eggs. No issues vermin?

: Latimeria July 24, 2017, 05:57:28 p
Nope, no vermin issues.  We clean the coop daily so no smell or issues, although the bigger they get, the messier they are.  lol

Awesome pic Tom, everything there is making me salivate.

My place does not have a yard, but it has two balconies that should get decent sunlight.  I'll get a container garden going pretty soon. :)
