My Garden

I officially started gardening on April 5, 2011.This is my first attempt at a garden. My garden is in Georgia in zone 8. Temperatures here have been HOT for the past month and we have had very little rain. My garden is planted in five raised beds that are 6' X 12'.

These pictures were taken on 5/15.

Yellow straight neck squash plants and a few carrots. The carrots were planted too late (4/5), but I decided to leave them anyway.

Butterstick Zukes planted 4/5 from seed.

More zukes. These are a dark green. Planted 4/5 from seed.

Yellow straight neck squash. These were planted from plugs in early May.

Lettuce planted from seed on 4/5. I don't know the variety. My brother in law donated the seed. It has produced well despite temperatures above 90.

Purple Queen bush beans planted on 4/5 from seed. They are just starting to flower.

Cukes planted from seed on 4/5. I also have a white variety planted. 

This is my harvest from 5/15- 3 dark green zukes, 2 butterstick zukes, 1 light green zuke, and lettuce! 

This a picture of another harvest. This is the bacon from a barrow that we showed and then harvested for fresh pork. Bacon from the farm tastes so much better than store bought!

 I also have peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant growing. I will try to post pics of them soon!
