Couple of pics of my garden

I'm in MA so not to shabby I think..... My first time doing this from start, since my father who passed on usually took care of this. He had quite a green thumb. I guess he got the soil all ready for me...

1. Very healthy plants there

They look happy soaking up the sun.

You're doing great.

A lot of tomatoes have been lost to blight/fusarium/verticillium this year. Your clean sunny garden doesn't look like it should have any problems.

The deer and the horses ate all but one of my maters. I did get one nice tomato. The crazy thing is, I dreamt of tomatoes last night, that I had vines and vines full of them

2. We have gotten blight in years past.

The neem oil seems to do the trick, and cuts down on the powdery mildew.

I spray it one once every couple of weeks and remove any leaves that appear yellow or have a white dusting.

Seems to have worked so far. But any one thing can ruin a crop. It's like a game....

5. The cruelest game

but when it's good, it's really good. My basil and strawberries are looking okay; flowers are okay; veggies need TLC. It's so hot, I just want some rain.

The nice thing is that other gardeners share. Just picked up corn, squash and peppers from a friend, so I am really set. No need to worry that I still have to plant the squash.

You are in for some yummie tomatoes for all your hard work.

6. very nice, esp'ly for your first time out

Beautiful plants and nice gardening space. Looks like you have a lot of land.

Also looks like your pops set you up quite well. Getting a garden plot like that together would be quite a task if you had to do it from scratch.
