Wow, that is some garden you lucky thing! No way could I manage that size, well that and I don’t have that much sunshine on my property. Too many oak trees (which I love, not complainin’). I’ll bet your friends and family love y’all come summertime! Well, it looks beautiful and very healthy. My biggest problem I’ve had over the years are bugs. And slugs. And beetles. Tons of bugs. I’m hoping to resolve that with my raised beds and square foot garden this year and some chemical warfare! We’ll see.

I have to deal with wildlife too – birds, squirrels, field mice and this year, I have a raccoon too. That’ll be a challenge. The mice are the worse. I try to keep the birds and the squirrels fed in hopes that they will leave the garden beds alone. My raised beds are right by the house too, and that seems to deter them a bit. I was thinkin’ about gettin’ one of those motion detector water squirter thingys, but I’m thinking I’d actually have to keep 2 up and that means 2 hoses run along the yard somewhere too! Anyway, we’ll see how it all goes I suppose.

Well nice meetin’ ya! I’ll be checking back to see how things go to and pick up tips since y’all are a few weeks ahead of me!

Wow, what a joy it must be to have tomatoes on the bush already. Up here in Oregon, we cannot even think of planting for ages, it’s just too wet and cold and they won’t grow, or will frost here where we live.

Happy growing.

Your gardens look amazing!
I am so jealous that you have tomatoes coming in already.
The difference a zone makes.
