Cherry tomatoes started today. My pumpkins are growing like no other.

I’ve been growing my zucchini, pumpkins and cucumbers over my leech field. The zucchini’s and pumpkins have done really well. The cucumbers not so much. I think there’s to much nitrogen.

I had a lot of new tomato blooms today. My wife’s petunias started to bloom too.

I transplanted 18 squash and they look like hell. Hopefully they perk up

Getting a late start this year, but here is what it will look like in about a month. We have a 68-day growing season at 7,100' and it can frost at any time during the summer. I do a lot of root vegetables and frost-resistant stuff like peas, raspberries, chokecherries. The summer squash gets extra care.

I’ve got seven peach trees. I’ve been having problems with peach leaf curl the last few years. I finally got the timing right for the copper spray and I think I’ve held it back this year. Had a lot of blossoms but not as much fruit set this year. We’ll see. They’ll get fertilizer and maybe some additional mulch this weekend. I’ll start trapping the squirrels in just over a month. If you’re in WI, Contender, Red Haven, and Elberta are the way to go.

I’d like to plant some peach trees. I will have to read up on those varieties.

The arch is coming along, a few cantelope have set in, added some beans. Tomatoes and okra fruiting pretty good, id guess well have some ripe in two weeks or so. Peppers in quarantine with aphids, treated them and set ant traps in the greenhouse, haven't seen any new ones in a few days so hopefully it all worked.

I haven't been able to have a garden the last couple years. These photos are making me more determined to get back to it next year. Thanks all for sharing.

Lots of things working against my garden this year, mice eating seeds, tons of rain and low temps, and all of the slug's that come along with the wet.
Refreshing to see a little help in there yesterday.

It actually was very good. My wife shreds a lot of zucchini to make zucchini bread so we have plenty of it in the freezer to try different recipes!

Vertical cantelopes coming in great. They were all volunteers from the compost pile too but I'll definitely be growing these again
