2023 Garden is in

Post by daytime dave » Sat Jun 17, 2023 12:39 pm

My 2023 garden is in. My corn is just popping through, the rest of the garden just went in this morning. I have another garden just full of potatoes. I have two small plots of sweet corn up the pasture that is coming up nicely that I need to fence to keep the deer out of.
I'm glad it's done.

Herbs and lettuce are in raised beds around the deck near the house.

P.S. Any trespassing rabbits or such will meet the Henry Garden Gun.

A month later and it's looking better.
Last night I almost got a marauding rabbit, but he saw me before I saw him. He took off like a shot.
The garden gun is on duty in the garden. I got a Triple K shotgun quiver to carry the gg and a few others around the property. I love it. The gg fits perfectly.

Garden looking good Dave. I like the quiver for the garden gun. May need to check on something like that for my 410.

I got the quiver to carry my shotguns mostly, but I found the gg fit very well. The H001 is the same size and would fit well too. I love the quiver so far.
I also got a Triple K 27" scabbard to put on the ATV. The all plastic one was about $300 at the dealership. I paid under $100.oo for the leather Triple K scabbard that I can use on the ATV. I got the longer of the two choices in the scabbard to offer the most protection.

I have early, mid and late bicolor corn. I didn't fertilize it in and it's doing ok. I'm not sure what specific type as I bought it three years ago.
I have two other small patches that I planted with a one row planter behind my Mahindra. I am suprised that most of it came up. It's up in my pasture more and I have it fenced five foot high with deer netting and have a 3.5 foot high twine barrier set about 4 - 5 feet outside the fence for the "I can't jump that far" farmer deer fencing without electricity.
I have a variety of tomato plants in the three rows. Some are Roma, some are small yellow pear shaped, some are large beefsteak types and six are a multi hybrid type that will produce medium sized tomatos.
