Almost done "getting the garden out".

Update

Really amazing the difference in seasons between SW AR and there. have been picking green beans for three weeks. Put up about 70 frozen packs, 40 beans per pack. Enough is enough, gonna till them under and replant with purple hull peas. Been picking blackberries for three weeks. Still a lot of blackberry picking to go. U pick sweet corn near me opening June 13 @ $.15 per ear. Cant grow it for that.

Neat pics. Yeah I got baby peppers on the pepper plants and thats about it. I have sweet corn out but it doesn't always do so great however it creates a little bit of a barrier for me between that field there. I had a couple of rows of green beans but very few popped up so when it dries out this week I need to replant those. Hopefully get a good till in this week for a better picture but the walleye started biting an hour away also... Something weird this year I can't figure out... I only had four volunteer squash plants this year... I haven' t found one volunteer tomato plant. Seems odd. Your stuff looks great. Im only picking green onion lettuce and cilantro. My strawberries haven't done anything. Not sure whats going on there. I have something off and haven't figured it out yet. This is about year three of them being a complete dud. Adding straw, fertilizing, and watering them sure didn't seem to help. Some of those are old plants and some of those are replanted and some are transplanted. I figured that'd be filled in by year 3 but I lost half over the winter and tried to fill in the empty spots with what I had and new from the store. Nothin.

We've pick well over 100 green onions so far, best year we've had with em

It does not appear that you have a fence around your garden. If that was out here your plants would be eaten by deer and rabbits within 1 day. If your sweet corn got past them the bears would polish it off before the ears were ripe enough for people to eat.
Mine has fine wire 24 inches high, stock fence 5 feet high and electric wire above that. Coon size cage traps at all corners (not baited, just blind sets) and at several spots along the straightaways. And I still lose stuff to varmits. Last year I shot 62 squirrels in 3 days going into my corn.

The deer usually stay out but there are some tracks through there. My tomatoes are individually caged via the concrete wire but thats all. Short of running some rabbits off I don't have much critter issues. Coon eat the corn I let them get, I don't ever have a banner year (ear lol). My east coast family has the same issues as you but they have all the city deer living in the woods beside them. They are pretty dispersed here and keep away from the house usually until its Dec or Jan kind of cold then they eat my lawn.

One large grower over here says sweet corn
will be10 bucks a dozen this time.

The rain 11 days ago messed me up
but am all in,, or enough in now (late and don't care lol).

The trash bag trick actually seemed to work. Its a mini greenhouse individual to each plant. Keeps the early spring wind off of the plant. I'd like to cut some half barrels instead.

The plant in the trash bag was planted at the same time using the same plants and the trash bag ones looks significantly better.
