    Nice garden! It’s so dry in our area reminds me of the 1980 summer when I was going to have my son, now a Sr Chief in the Navy., We are west of KC on the Kansas side. We are hoping to get rain soon. Hope its not too late! My green beans burnt up though. We hot a couple of meals out of them anyway. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi MD
    Upstate NY, our garden is beginning to take off. We have beautiful romaine lettuce, pretty tasty too. Garlic is growing, onions are growing. My sweet potato slips are taking off. We are also growing tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, peppers, squash and watermelon. So far so good as our plants are really growing fast. By the way …. Nice garden M. D.

    Upstate NY (the red part) Battling bugs like crazy now but trying to do it organically. Bok Choy did great this spring and lettuce and radishes. Peas- disaster, chard slow to start this year after banner last year. Waiting on tomatoes, potatoes, etc. We persevere. My motivation in starting a garden three years ago was definitely preps (so glad I did) but now I mostly enjoy it.
