Because where else can you be pruning your roses and watching several hawks play in the breeze and sing to each other at the same time? Where else can you take your dogs on a hike along the creek and flush a bunch of wild turkeys out of the brush? Where else can you be holding your horse for...

Oh my goodness! Your beautiful produce makes me even more impatient for our garden to get in gear. We have gotten a few summer squash, but that's it so far. Way to go, Vfem and Bj!!!!!

Uh oh! We planted our raspberries interspersed with our blackberries. :he Sheesh - now we have to dig something up and rework our plan. Good grief! :barnie

Good point, Hoodat. I've only grown bush beans in the past and it's been difficult to spot the darn things. Our trellis is a hoop trellis, so we are hoping that will help with harvest. If not, purple beans sounds like a good next step! I wondered about disease, too, Steve. Maybe we should...

BJ - we did 3 pigs, but only 1 was ours. The others were for other people, but it's much easier on the pigs and they gain better if they have company. These were Yorkshire crosses. Super easy to raise and we will definitely be doing it again. We didn't really handle them at all, but they...

So, we have 12 feet of trellis for our pole beans. We planted the whole 12 feet at one time. Now I am wondering if we can plant another round in between our current vines, which are about 6 inches apart. If we do it this way, there is no way to pull the older vines out of the way when they...

Thanks so much for posting this, Major! This is soooo helpful. I know it took you some time to put this together - much appreciated!! :love

Journey, what a beautiful piece of property you have! Love the garden and the fact that you can actually plant in the ground. lol You have a lot of variety planted and everything looks so healthy!

Whatever it was I think they are dead now! lol

Thanks so much! This is perfectly simple and I think even I can get it right! Is it ok to hack off sick-looking canes any time?

Some updated pics as of today. Things have taken off and everything is healthy - now the trick is to keep it that way as we move into our 100 degree plus weather! img]http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/uploads/4894_img_0568.jpg[/img] Asparagus, summer squash, pole beans, peppers, and...

Oops! How did I manage a double post?

Like Stony said, each ear in foil with butter, salt, pepper, then we also sprinkle with thyme. It's to die for!

Oh, Heaven! I can just taste those nachos now. What is it about home made potato chips?

Dewdrop, we just got our first pig back from the butcher. Oh my gosh! The meat is soooo much better than what you buy in the stores. We are enjoying the heck out of it. We really admire anyone who can process chickens. We have had layers for years, but can't bring ourselves to commit to...

Major, what do you mean by "tip another 40-50"? Also, I'm still a little unsure about how to prune ours. We have Black Satin Thornless that we planted last year and every time I think I know what to look for and prune, I get confused and chicken out. Do you have a method that makes sense to you?

Very beautiful, Monty! We have the opposite thing going on here - we have a house, but squat for a yard. I will pretend that your beautiful yard is surrounding our house! :thumbsup

I think we're done with breaks for this year. It's been in the 90's this week and will hit 100 today, 108 Saturday. . . Time to hit the pool!

That sounds more like our normal May weather, bj. It's just been odd this year.

Over 100 degrees today and supposed to be hotter tomorrow. Over the past week our temps were in the mid 70's to mid 80's, before that we had 90's. My poor plants don't know what to think about all these weird temp fluctuations this year. I, howerver, know exactly what to think. . .:tongue
