Tomatos, Red peppers, Spearmint and a few other herbs and some flowers. Most of the seeds came to me from our knifer friend in Bulgaria. 
There were also some small Lucky figures with the seeds that have to do with a Tradition in Bulgaria. Finally got them hung up on my rear view. 
Wow! Pretty cool! About 2 1/2 - 3" long! Never seen one up close before. 
opened up on Sat. June 19th. Which was my daughter Jazlin's 18th Birthday. 
Cool pictures John! Good looking garden but I know they make a lot of work.1967redrider wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 1:11 pm Pretty wild looking beetle, Tom.
Spent the 3 day weekend at the farm, more work to do than I could finish in a week. The sprouted corn we planted a month ago did take root and grow (2 rows on the right), but it's not much if any taller than the corn we planted at the same time from seed. Also pictured is my brother's attempt to string up the tomato plants. Some of the tomatoes are around tennis ball size, empty can for scale.
Everything is growing well but they could use some rain. Luckily the Spring is running pretty good so he can use it to water somewhat. I call that tiller "Bouncing Betty." My hands are still hurting from it.
I like that white fence! Cool looking Traktor! I'll ask what kind jt is? Not that I know my butt from a hole in the ground about them but I am always interested. 
Glad you enjoyed it my friend! 
Looks like you both have a “green thumb”. 
So it’s not going to be a good year here for hay. If the rest of the summer improves maybe we can recover some from the second cutting. 
Sounds just like the weather we have been having around here Ken. My tomato plants are about 3" tall.Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:20 am Great pictures both of you, Tom and John.
Been a strange year for growing stuff here...
Ken
May not have many tomatos this year unless we have a nice warm fall.

Been a strange year for growing stuff here. First we get the historic deep freeze in February - coldest temperatures in over 120 years, and they lasted several days. Lots of plants were killed, many more damaged. The older references from the late 1900s have us listed here as climate zone 7. More recently the“experts” have been saying the temperature zones have changed, and hence for the past 10-15 years they have sold plants here that were previously classified as hardy to zone 8. Lots of those plants were planted and most of them were killed by the February freeze - so much for that!
Then we get a cool, wet spring. Grass here needs three things to grow - moisture, sunlight, and temperature. We got plenty of rain, and adequate sunshine. But until about three weeks ago the nighttime temperatures were well below 70 degrees F, which is the minimum temp at which our forage grasses will grow well. So the hay crop is dismal at best - first cutting yields are down significantly. But the weeds are doing great!

Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) I still have a lot of hay left over from last year’s excellent yield. I’ll get by. 
Theres no place like home! (Swallow's nest & Pepsi the cat) Those lilies are gorgeous and Pepsi looks a little camera shy, so are our cats.
