Such a wonderful space! Great job and great work!
For me it’s been litterally all seasons… hail, microburst, heat waves with no water, humidity near 90% or dry as fuck… all resulting in an explosion of insects like I’ve never dealt with before.
Tomatos are dealing, Cannabis as well, the broccoli is a write-off, and my kale/collards are under attack. Basically at this point I’m just happy to have any food out of the yard and making sure my cannabis is safe until Oct… 
May the sunshine and warmth find you my friend! Always love your updates. Cheers!

Veggie garden 2021… Various bell / hot peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, beans, spinach, onions, herbs, strawberries, zucchinis and watermelon. working on a NFT system for lettuce, and I have 8 types sprouting in the house in rockwool now. Oh, and plenty of
Sunflowers and their bees
Plus I have the 2 Intermittent Mist sand beds for propagation of various cuttings. Got some cool vine thing going at the moment in the one, and a bunch of coleus in the other:
Oh and there’s some celery in the 20g fabric pot near the mist bed, the mist keeps the celery always moist…

Almost TOO nice! LOL. We loaded those raised planter beds with black dirt this year, each takes about a half yard. Rootcrops like onions, radish, carrots love it. Evidently the cucumbers do too! We had what was labeled a bush pickle cucumber, thats decided it wants to be a vine instead. Its growing 6" a day, trying to outcompete bamboo, and is now 7’ tall on the stake and climbing. I asked my girl if she got those beans where jack bought his magic beans, because at this rate I’ll be saying hi to the airliners before long!
In all seriousness though, thanks for the compliments. This year was total re-do, new fence year. Had a garden there for the past 8 years, and the original fence was recycled to begin with. 6 layers of metal / wire / chicken wire fencing, and damn groundhogs still got in. This year we ripped all that out, new 2x4 and 2x6 construction with 4x4 posts and 1/4" construction cloth fence with a gate tight enough a mouse cant squeeze thru.
First year trying the “hay mulch” or “straw mulch”, not sure how I feel yet. Keeps the weeds way down, but slugs do hide under it. not much slug damage in the garden though, for how many slugs I find if I lift the straw.
Gonna be a banner year for cucumbers here I think. If the cucumber plant doesn’t eat my GF first!

The fence is 4’ tall. The horizontal bar at the top of the plants is like 8’ off the ground. Never have I seen so many cukes on one plant!

Our morning haul

The rain has been pissing my tomatoes off. Last week 4 out of 5 of my cherry tomatoes looked so wilted from all the rain I thought I’d lose em all. This morning, 4 out of 5 cherry tomatoes are back and growing like crazy. Up and down, 2 “overwatered wilts” from rain this season so far, not sure how much stress that causes and how many times the tomatoes can withstand it. We pulled lots of green tomatoes so the plants can work on themselves and not fruit, its ripening quickly on a sunny windowsill.
Lots of green beans there. Mine are still taking over the arbor and fenceline, but no beans here yet.
Nice haul there!

Once they start running it’s hard to slow them down
