The corn is really looking good.  Last year it didn't get very strong and the wind took it away.  This is nice and strong.  I think starting it earlier this year and the cooler weather has helped.

Here we go.  This past weekend's pics.  These were taken 4/5/09.  This first box is the one with the tomatoes.  They are doing quite well so far.  Although tonight I found bugs, so I'll have to start that fight now.  

Well, what does every redneck need in their yard?  Yep, two wagon wheels on end for a plant hanger.  Poor Kenny has such trouble with the things I ask him to make me.

Here's a rose that just loves to bloom.  It hasn't stopped putting out blooms since I brought it home about a month ago.  Nice pot, huh mom?

The roses are starting to come alive now.  They bloom more each day.  They are getting a bit out of control though.  Talked to Denise tonight and got the 'how to' on how to trim them back.  (Actually she told me once, I guess I wasn't listening, opps)

Wow, it’s been a long time since I did anything on here.  October.  Well, I guess that because every time I thought I was getting somewhere with the winter garden it would freeze for a night or two and then back up into the 70’s and 80’s.  Drove me nuts.    Anyway, I think I’m safe now for the summer.  It’s VERY hot already during the day, although I think it’s only in the low 80’s.  In the sun it’s hot. 

I’m pretty much growing the same as last year with only a few exceptions.  I’ve got an entire box plus some on the tomatoes.  There are several different kinds and sizes.  Then I’m trying the sweet corn again in the Earth Box, we’ll see.  Then of course, we have the beans and sugar snap peas.  Cucumbers and peppers, lettuce and yellow squash are all in there.  I forgot to plant the zucchini so I only have one plant of that, but that’s ok. 

I didn’t take a picture yet, but I have a huge planter of cantaloupe over by the greenhouse.  The strawberries are doing well, but I didn’t get out to water yesterday so there are a little under the weather and wilty today, so I’ll catch them tomorrow. 

The roses are doing very well, but no blooms yet, so I didn’t take a picture yet.  Soon, very soon.  I have to get them going quick before Denise gets here in June.  She’ll have my head.
