K and I spent a good part of today working in our back yard getting our garden planted.
Okay, she did the planting. I put up the fences to keep Sophie from digging up the seeds.
I also put up some fencing around the Cyprus trees I planted last weekend to keep Ace from "watering" them.
We are hoping to have a good crop of veggies to grace our table this year.
Do you garden? Is this the time of year you plant?

I no longer have a garden, When I did and lived in Latvia we had a greenhouse for tomatoes and cucumbers and outside we grew potatoes and we had strawberries.

We're doing the drought tolerant thing . . . we really have to be mindful of our water usage here - starting June 1 we can only water outdoors once a week 
. So no edibles here, just plants that could stand less watering. Hope you have a wonderful harvest when the time comes!!

I garden but mine are mostly flowers. It's been years since we tried to grow any veggies. Maybe once I retire will try again.
We wait longer before planting anything because o our area has had a hard Frost as late as June before. It's not every year though. Some people can cover all their new plantings but I don't have that kind of time. So I wait.

Smart moves on your part.
I had a raised bed garden built last month with netting around it, a door, and a wire top. It better keep the deer and birds out. I planted most of my veggies, but have a few more plants and seeds to put in. Love picking fresh veggies for dinner! Enjoy yours and hope you get lots of goodies. Love that multi-faceted planter!!!!

I couldn’t be considered to have a green thumb without a bucket of paint.

Looking good! Nothing beats fresh veggies from your garden. We did community gardening and my Uncle when alive and well, tended to his vegetable garden & shared with us.
My tiny backyard is potted plants. Only me, so hesitate for a vegetable to plant... harvest time yielding might be too much.

I wish you well with your garden.
We use to have a pretty good size garden but when Mike's dad got sick and our time was taken with caring for him, we stopped. Mike hasn't wanted to get back into it since.
