Our modest size garden feeds my wife and me and a few of our neighbors with fruits and veggies. Only organic practices keep me busy weeding, hauling manure, and picking off bugs. Gardening is very rewarding but it takes a lot of hard work. Wanting to learn from everyone and hope I can help others make gardening fun.

The cucumbers were planted several days ago. The journey toward harvest has begun. My mouth is already salivating thinking about that first tomato cucumber salad. Ah, be still my heart. The sweet corn goes in next week and grandson will be watching tentatively for that first ear of corn to harvest. His competition will be a flock of wild turkeys that love to poke, scratch, and eat their way through the land that once belonged to them. They don't understand that there's a new man in town and the rules of gobbling (pun intended) have changed. It's going to be a real challenge to harvest between the turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and deer. I feel like a real pioneer taming the land in the wild of the inner city.
When life gets to be too much, spend more time in the garden. There's just something about being close to the land that soothes the soul. Have a great day in the garden everyone. less

My tomatoes tight next to my peppers have shot up and are getting blossoms on them. I added more compost around the plants and water in with non chlorinated water. Any suggestions.
