Welcome to My Garden

Welcome to the Garden 2010,

This is where I love to spend my time.  I would rather be in my garden than to wash dishes or do laundry.  I find digging in the dirt, planting and harvesting relaxing... even in the hot Oklahoma Sun!  Grab a glass of Ice Cold Tea, kick your shoes off and enjoy the garden tour.

The Herb Bed... along with a few plants I didn't have a "REAL" thought out home for, landed here.

This area is also new to the homestead this year, and right out my front door.

This area receives about 6 hours of the morning sun.

Not sure I can say anything about this garden area. Except, I think every homestead needs one! Mostly shade.

Thought this might save some time.... This is the main Veggie Garden 2010.

The top picture shows off my 75 tomato plants and a few squash and okra.

The bottom shows a nice empty area where I will be planting the fall crop, slatted to go in some time in the next couple of weeks. 

(right after I finish pulling out those weeds) Full Sun

My lovely Asparagus bed! 

 I worked so hard on this bed for a whole year. I added grass clippings and leaves flipped and flopped until it was broke down into wonderful organic matter.  And this spring I added my roots and they are taking to that bed like pigs to mud! full sun

 I have since pulled all the corn out. (was a really bad spot for corn) I'm not really sure what I will plant here with the leeks but I'm sure I will come up with something. Part shade until the pear tree gets a trim.

The Melon Bed..... cantaloupe, acorn squash and sugar baby watermelons. 

the two pots are just some flowers that I moved out of the way while mowing and never put them back.... story of my life!  

 Last but certainly not lest... the new bed. Mostly shade so I'm not real sure what I will be planting here. More than likely it will be my experiment bed. (if I can ever get it finished) Then again it might just be the perfect place for my rhubarb plants we will have to see how that one plays out.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have enjoyed your stay! 

And Come back often ya hear?!
