Well, I'm now reaping what I sowed in our garden. The baby red potatoes, chives, peas, & beans have all been extra tasty. There's nothing quite like eating what you've grown yourself!

A little fruit this year's harvest.

Cutting this tree down will benefit the garden a lot because of the relentless surface root competition. Never shaded the garden because of the angle of the sun but I've been continuously fighting the roots. It was a ~75 foot silver maple with ~70 of that above the split, tall enough to reach the house if it let go in a storm. It was just starting to get a little punky in the middle too. Last storm came through and was blowing my peppers around, I went out to save 'em and looked up at this tree shaking and bending in the wind and that was it, time to go.

There is just something primal about dropping trees :D
YES! To stand where no man has stood in 50 how many years. YAY! ;)Quote:

A hail storm trashed the garden earlier this year but most everything came in. Got pumpkins and corn stalks growing for wife's Halloween setup.
I have 2 of those each 4x12 I have yellow banana peppers and bell peppers in one and tomatoes, cantaloupe, and yellow crooked necked squash in the other.Quote:

Picked our very first "Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes" last night and the wife and I both were not impressed at all :( in fact we both spit them out..
The Amish Paste and Romas are looking ok, and we have a few mini bell peppers coming along
Beans plants are growing but not seeing any actual beans yet, same with the Blackberry bush, nice healthy bush with zero berries :(
