Planting Corn, Green Beans, Tomatoes & Peppers

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.  This is the 2nd year.
~God Bless This Garden~

Note:  I wasn't able to get too close for some of the pics as my mobility scooter kept getting stuck in the tilled soil.  The kids had to keep pushing me out so I finally gave up and photographed from a distance... Suzanne

I am so thankful we were finally able to get the planting started.  Annette and the kids are marking rows using step-in fence posts.

We're using a 50 ft. hose to measure the length of each row.

Stepping a post at the end of row.

Annette trying to get the row straight.

Pouring sweet corn seed into the little borrowed planter.

Annette's pushing the planter along the edge of the hose.  The planter cuts a slot, drops in the seed but it didn't cover it very well so the kids went behind and pushed soil over the corn seed and stepped it down.  Great job Annette.

Annette and the kids are planting about a 30 foot row of tomatoes and peppers.

Here's one of the nectarine tree's from last year.  It has one nectarine about the size of a small prune on it this year.

These raspberries are doing great.  Lots of new shoots.  Later we will dig them up and start getting them put into long rows.

The rhubarb is delicious.  Michaela ate some raw today.

Well done guys.

James set up 2 rows of trickle irrigation with a timer on it at the very end of the day.  There is still more to set up.  Also have some roll out mulch but it was far too windy today to put it out.

I am soooo sunburned I can barely move... :)
