That looks a lot nicer than what I have. But I'm working on it.

you can start with planting the little seed garlic on the heads this season, then dig early next season and sell to all those city folks with 3 small bulbettes per p-15 pot
friend did it for 30 years and sold to a large grocery store in 500 pound lots = $$$$

No there's an idea

Les ….came out this morning to the award winning pumpkin plant ( bought the Wallace Organic Pumpkin Seeds …giant type ) and found this !! The deer also ate all the cherry tomatoes and 3 full grown Hostas . Do you have fencing around your garden….or just use the shot gun method ? [Linked Image]

Well it fiinaly rained here! We missed the wind but got 1.75 inches over 4 hours with a ton of lightning. Grass turned green overnight and now the gardens will explode for a week or so.

Ness, no fencing, but deer...have been browsing here and there, most noticably on my radishes in the garden nearest the woods. Deer in the edge of town tend to browse on what ever they want in it's season. I have fenced with sheep fence in the past though.

Been a good garden season so far in central MN except my squash is trying to take over the world!! This is a new spot that I just turned over late this spring so it’s lumpy and rocky and cobbled together, but it’s a start for years to come!

Enjoy your gardening and greenhouse posts Les! Happy trapping! ScottW

Great corn year for me. Electric fence stopped the coons. Picked 62 dozen yesterday morning.

The photo of the young boy covering his eyes really relates to not wanting to see all that work before, during and after when it comes to gardens. I am impressed by your ability and desire to keep your's so clean. I pretty much quite the weeding when the big harvest and processing season comes. Wow that is a lot of corn! I am getting very good yields of carrots, brocolli, sweet corn. Peppers are doing good as are two of the 4 patches of sweet corn. Pickled some beets, and this week I need to shred cabbage for kraut. Green beans are OK but not really great. I love the size, texture, and taste of my variety but they don't stand well and break off easy at the ground. I may have a disease, but will try something different next year.
Potatoes are dying back and I am anxious to dig the first hill as the vines were the best I have ever had.
I am raising most of our sweet corn over at our son's place and the garden is right next to their large dog run. I have only had coons in the garden 1 year out of 7.

Wow that is a lot of produce. I am amazed how green and growing much of your garden is yet.
I live about 45 miles south of Green Bay and I am nearing the end with many crops.
I am done with green beans, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli,all which were good to very good
I have 3 cabbage heads for slaw and fresh. The rest are perkulating in the krock.
I am getting a good start on the tomatoes and yields look to be very good. 50 quarts up with a 100 or so to go.
Dug my potatoes today. The best yields I have ever had in over 65 years working in gardens. Lot of family will get many. Lot of new dishes to try using spuds and a bit more lefse as well.
Two patches of sweet corn were very good. The third is so so and the fourth I just cut to give to the sheep. Don't know the story there.
Onions are pulled and they were soso this year.
Peppers are doing well. They really need the heat, slow start for them this year.
Beets, only had a few and made pickled beets
I have never been much about watering, which I need to manage better, but I am amazed at how good most crops have been, even with our limited rain fall and low ground water.
