around the garden, farm.....



Two of the tomato plants have small tomatoes on them,....can`t wait for a tomato sandwich.....yummy . I so love home grown tomatoes, better then those store bought.


My radishes bit the dust...all top and no bottoms...no radishes this year from garden, maybe farmers market.

                                        Here is pic of three of the tomato plants, I picked up at a swap meet this past weekend.
                                                      Another tomato plant

             
                           just turnips lettuce and tomatoes and few green onions and garlic now in this bed, thinking on putting a pumpkin in here or watermelon, not sure as of yet.

  I promise I have weeded this bed or at least this area of the bed ,... A gardeners work is never truly done , lol....soon the cucumbers will be able to climb up, first time I have tried this, hopefully it will work that way I want it too.

                    These pole beans are the same bed as the cucumbers, soon hopefully they will climb as well. Am thinking I might put a string across the two ropes, though.

                                  This lone wax bean plant looks like it might be a vine instead of a bush bean...not sure about it.

                                                  
 Thought you might want to see the grape vines,since the top one do get a little frost on it earlier, since Mother Nature couldn`t make up her mind, what season she wanted it to be, I think they are doing good.

                                       Blackberries are in full bloom and have notice on some of them a few small berries.
            Our latest addition, my youngest two baby chicks, that she got at the swap meet, given to her, she first had one, then decided she needed two to keep each other company, don`t really know what they are, just they are mixed banties.

                    Lavender has chosen not to set under the porch this year, but in a dog house, their is a chicken setting with her as well on the same eggs,...think she has enough down around those eggs. Tippy is setting as well, under a crate where I can`t get too.

Last but not least of the picture , A hen that due to start hatching out sometime this weekend. She has a lot of eggs under her. At last count 12, the other hens keeping laying in her nest. I also have another hen setting or at least wanting to set without any eggs under her.....I am going to get some eggs that I seen on craigslist, ..maran eggs that are very pretty to put under her, I am thinking anyway.

On to the storms, We did not get any damage here, but my heart and prayers go out to those in Oklahoma.
