7-18-09 Set Up Sprinklers - Etc.

This is Kate's Garden.It's named after the person who made it possible.
My name is Suzanne. This will be a record of the garden to feed and bless many. We hope to take you through the entire process of planting, canning, and drying fruit and veggies.
~God Bless This Garden~

Jessica and Annette worked hard today getting a watering system set up with some duplex couplers and hoses and sprinklers. The vine plants were spreading out so that the hose was causing damage when we would drag it through the garden. Here you can see some green beans with a dusting of Sevin on them. Bugs are bad this year. Especially grasshoppers.
Baby Watermelon.

We've picked many tomatoes and tons are coming yet. Will have plenty for canning.

A blue hubbard winter squash is starting.

Tomatoes everywhere. Early Girl, Beefsteak, and Roma's.

The one little bunch of grapes is steadily growing.

You can see a grape vine in the middle of the petunia's. The flowers add some nice color.

James, Annette and the kids thinned out the 3 beds of carrots this morning. Now they have room to grow. Even the 20,000 carrot bed. :)

The baby watermelons are growing well.

Bell peppers are coming right along. I love to can them with tomatoes, onions, garlic, etc.

The butternut squash is really growing. I love this kind of squash baked with a little raisin sauce spooned on top. Mmmmm....

Does anyone need some watermelons? :)

We are getting extreme amounts of watermelons.. They are black diamond.

Getting lost amongst melons, greenbeans, and other veggies..

Just goof off on the computer looking at different blogs that I haven’t been to.
Or it been a while.

Your garden sure looks it father then mine. I believe you have a longer growing season then we do in North Idaho.
If I’m not mistaking your nights are warmer. It cools down at night. It will drop 10 to 20 degrees.

We don’t have much as for berries. Planted some strawberries and the deer just helps them self to the plants.
So next year there going into the regular garden and extending the fence.


Stop on in for some coffee.
