How’s them gardens coming?

[Popcorn]

Mine is coming along nice. Got my popcorn and okra planted late (this week). No squash this year, squash bugs won

Looking great! Finished planting okra Monday & it's already up. Took me 8 days this year to get mine in, this getting old is not for sissies! Went with some vertical growing squash from Gurneys this year but only looks like 50% germination so far. Will give it a few more days then poke some more seeds in ground.

Looks great!

Planning to start setting mine tomorrow. I'd hardly call okra late right now. Early May okra usually gets passed by June okra

 

[DoubleRidge]

Running a little late this year but got tomatoes and cucumbers transplanted yesterday....and still have crook neck and butternut squash to transplant and also planning to add okra.....building news beds, starting seeds in trays, transplanting....throw in work, weather and life and it get crazy this time of year....but we really enjoy time in the garden.

Nice! I still have a few more things to plant that I've grown from seeds in solo cups. Probably will be big enough to plant next week

You must be close to my son. He is in Algood, they raise registered boar goats. They had that rain, got over 4 inches in under an hour, total over 5 inches!
They had to swim their goats out and load them on trailer's and put some in the garage.

that's a pretty convincing tote!

I try with that thing and the owl. Chipmunks still get my beans. I have to move the yote every day to keep "an edge", or atleast make them think about their decision

I'm on the north side of Cookeville. Not too far from algood.

Weather has definitely been better in southeast tn. Things are looking good so far.

No pics of mine, but it's doing pretty good.
Planted earlier than usual this year then we had an extended cold snap which delayed everything from sprouting. Got a good stand of corn [Ambrosia] Potatoes and cucumbers but had to replant okra, squash and beans. Tomatoes withstood the cold snap and are starting to bloom. [Roma and Celebrity].
Garden needs to be worked but soil is still too wet. Hopefully it will dry up enough to till between rows and side dress later this week.
On a side note, found deer tracks in the mud, I better get the electric fence out ASAP!!

Mine is just coming in--planted 2-1/2 weeks ago. 12 Better Boys, 1 row of pole beans, 4 rows of bush, 6 long rows of corn (Peaches &Cream). Last month I worked up a spot next to mine for my dad. He did 36 Big Boys, 2 rows of corn and a few hills of cucumbers. He did his tomatoes from seed and I was worried they were too tender when he transplanted them (storms and wind). They looked rough for 3 weeks but are taking off now. If everything keeps up good we will have 2 good gardens.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Ran the tiller through between the rows last week.

Has been too wet to really do any weeding, way overdue though.

 

[Moonman]

Stuck beans and put posts in for the maters.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

I'm going to try and plant the rest of my stuff coming up from solo cups by Thursday. Heading on vacation Friday. Will hope for the best

Maters are coming along. Fighting back the aphids right now. There are 50 plants which is about 30 more than I've ever grown.

Between the chicken coop and the raised garden beds, guess your motto is "go big or go home" . Rather impressive to say the least.

You mentioned 30 more plants than ever before. Why the additional 150%?

My wife would leave me for your raised beds alone. Very nice.
