here is the promised shots of my grass patch.Id like to get one of thoes mantis tillere to run down the rows,the stinkin hula hoe sucks!!

The only thing really growing right now is the corn along the fence,that wont produce squat in my geographic region,but offers a good wind break, some squash , okra, cucumber,and some tiny mater plants!! none of the pepers have decided to show face yet. Oh and some tiny water melon plants, cantalope and some mustard greens, a salad "mix", and spinach!!
Its warming up though so thingh should take off!!! if not m gonna put a voley ball net in the canter and get some use out of the grass!!

Ya know, if you got a garden hose there, trickle it (real, real slow, like 1 gallon per minute) onto a row overnight. we do this to our trees in our yard. it is so dry here this year, that nothing is growing without water. we will not have to do any haying, and there might not be any crops in south east Alberta this year.

Jason, nice grass garden :biggrin2.gif:

I have no clue how you guys can stand it that dry out there. Although we can get 2" of rain and within a day is bone dry with the amount of sand we have in the soil here, but 10miles away is great growing..

Here is an aerial view of my garden as of last week. We plant tomatoes, a lot of different kinds of peppers, watermelon, cukes and onions. Our two specialties are salsa and sweet relish.
