I don’t feel that it has produced as much as it should have but my kids think I ought to be pleased. My Mormon neighbor (aren’t they supposed to be good gardeners?) told me all her tomatoes died this year because of the heat. Mine are all living, so I guess I should be quite grateful and thankful!

Just let me know and we’ll get those eggs in the ‘bator.

LOL…I guess whenever I can get them. Maybe when Zachary comes from y’alls place, maybe he’d be kind enough to bring a few down. Let me ask Jordan first. :-p And I’ve got the holes started for the poles, and I think Jordan is going to pound them in for me tonight. Then maybe the fence will be in the next few days, and I think I should be planting here by next week. *fingers crossed and lots of praying!*

I have a potato bug problem in my garden. Any suggestions besides picking them off and feeding them to the chickens? ;O)

(We’ve made it big…we’re on “Treasuring the Moments” blog!!!)The Strite Family’s garden is gorgeous! I would love to see it in real life.

You certainly have a BIG obstacle to overcome with the lack of rain. I rarely have to water our garden. Our garden actually does better when we have a dry summer, because our land is low and wet.

I love how you have implemented the square foot gardening technique. We use some of that by planting a double row of broccoli etc. with a plant in the middle, but I don’t use raised beds. (When you are growing enough for an army it takes more effort than I’m willing to put into it.)

The use of hog panel cages is very clever, an absolute necessity! Our whole yard is fenced, but that does not keep the rabbits out…they always find a way to squeeze under the fence. We have used a natural repellant that worked great for the last couple of years.

Love the pictures of the chicks and rabbit! So cute!

Good luck with your garden. It’s so satisfying to gather what you need for dinner from the garden!

You’ve already put some hard work into your garden. Keep going at it; you’ll get it finished.

So, how many chicks do you want and when? 😀

I haven’t even gotten the beds filled yet, much less the deer/javelina/rabbit protection fence up. 🙁 Better late than never, right?

Hope your gardening goes well. 🙂
