Show your 2014 garden pics

Here's a few pics of my 2014 garden. I hate to brag but...what am I saying? I love to brag about my garden. Anyway, it's the best garden I've ever had.

You have every right to brag, Jim. Your garden looks great. Very lush! Makes my scrawny tomatoes look kinda pathetic. What kind of beans did you say you planted?

 

[JimWWhite]

They're a generic bush bean I got from the local hardware store. I don't think there's a pic of them but there is also a tall trellis of the large speckled butter beans (also known as large limas outside the South). They are just starting to make pods. I was worried as I'd posted earlier that there was lots of beautiful foliage on the trellis but no beans. Shortly afterwards the pods began to appear. These I'm looking forward to since I don't think I've had them since I was a kid.

Here is mine, heavy on butternuts

Very nice, MauldinTiger. I've got four butternut plants and four golden hubbard sqash plants tool. All seem to be putting on fruit. We love winter squash.

We planted the squash, corn and beans using the 'Three Sisters' method like the native Americans taught the settlers when they first came over the pond. Now they've (the white man) gone off and planted 5,000 acre fields of corn without any though as to what they were originally taught.

Jim, the only braggers I like are garden braggers. Everything looks beautiful.

Jim yours looks great as well, wish I had the room to sprawl you appear to have. I thought about the "3 sisters' method, but just don't have room for everything else on my 1600 sq ft. Definitely could not do it without the cattle panels, and they are getting pretty full of butternuts and cukes right now.
