Bean/pea trellis and the trellis for squash, zucchini, spaghetti squash, lemon cucumbers and charentais melons. Can't see from the pic but there is a lower middle support.
If you look closely you can see a solar panel in the background, that charges the battery on the electric mower as well as provide light inside the shed at night time.
No squash or anything coming up yet, seeds went in about 5 days ago but peas (went in a month late) are coming up.
On the bean trellis I will have peas, lima beans, Big Mama lima beans, string beans and asparagus beans (yard long beans).
Under the bean trellis I have romaine, butter crunch and loose leaf lettuces, mesculun mix, spinach and carrots growing. I have a row cover over them so nobody but the family gets to eat the crop. Also when the trellis is covered in vines it will allow me to have a longer growing season for lettuces because it will help keep them shaded and cooler.
In front of the lettuce are some onions and past them some broccoli and cauliflower.
I'm giving growing peanuts a try this year. Nothing has broken ground yet but should within the next week.
Going to grow about 30 plants.
Corn has just broken ground, and it looks like something has been walking through the area.
Doing 75 sweet corn and in another week and a half I am planting 75 baby corn, a few I will let fully mature into popcorn plants.
If planting popcorn and sweet corn they must be either 1/4 mile apart or planted 3 weeks apart, if they cross pollinate then the sweet corn will be crunchy and the popcorn won't pop.
Fathers gardening area, he is doing potatoes in the raised bed and not sure what in front of it.
That tall plant stuff...mint from last year that decided to take over.
In the back is some of my cherry wood we cut down last year, almost ready to use
Finally the little herb garden
Growing stevia, thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, Italian parsley, chives and cilantro/coriander.
Going to put the tomatoes and peppers in very soon, hopefully sometime this week. Eggplant I might wait another few weeks on.
Right now they are enjoying the day, sunny and 86 degrees out and only dropping down to 65 at night.
After selling some and giving some away to fmaily members I have 38 tomato plants remaining and 41 pepper plants, most of the peppers are different kinds of jalapenos but I also have some Anaheims, Black Hungarians, Pepperoncinis, Aji Dulce (no heat habanero). I believe all the others are jalapenos, no heat ones, giant ones, 2 kinds of organic ones and an early one.
All growing is being done organically.
Just talking about it is making me weak in the knees, I can't wait to pick off that first ripe Jersey tomato, sprinkle a little salt on it and bite like an apple.
Talk about delicious perfection!
