I'm growing three kinds of cucumbers this year. I'll have Straight Eights, Poona Kheera and Armenian. These are the Armenian cucumber seedlings.

    You can see my corn plants in the back half of the garden. I'm growing Trucker's Favorite - White this year. It's a non-sweet field corn. I prefer it over sweet corn.

    These are Florida High Bush eggplants. The little one on the end doesn't look so good but they should be okay.

    This is my lettuce bed. We've been eating fresh salad regularly. I've got Yugoslavian Red Bibb, Amish Deer Tongue, Bronze Arrowhead, Susan's Red Bibb, Forellenschluss and also some radicchio. There is also a Late Flat Dutch cabbage on the right.

    This is the front end of the garden. In the front are some Burpee's Best Cabbage. It's a hybrid I don't know much about but it had good reviews. On the end of that row is a Chiltepin pepper plant and two Bhut Jolokia (ghost chili) pepper plants. Behind that is an assortment of hot and sweet peppers. There are also a few bell peppers in there.

They are French Breakfast, Black Spanish Round, Black Spanish Long, Long Scarlet, Early Scarlet, White Icicle, White Hailstone, Chinese Green Luobo, Chinese Red Meat, China Rose, and Purple Plum. There are also some Scarlet Nantes carrots, Purple Top White Globe turnips, Red Round Turnips, Hollow Crown Parsnips and Detroit Red Beets in there as well.

    First tomatoes of the season. These are Terrenzo F1s and they are looking pretty.

    This is the other side of the house. I've got six tomato plants in the front, some Brussels sprouts behind them and then some potatoes at the end.

    These are the tomatoes down the fence. Some are varying heights thanks to our hailstorm, which required me to replace several plants. These are beginning to put on fruit as well. All total I'm at 48 tomato plants.

    I should also mention that these shots were taken at dusk, so the shade isn't normally as bad.

    The plant looks very nice.

    I will grow the Armenian but have not started seeds. My neighbor may give me a plant or two of what ever he is growing.

    I seem to be running behind on most planting. I have 18 sweet potatoes, 18 tomatoes, 18 peppers and planted about 150 corn seeds. I also have potatoes, Cole crops and onions. If I dont get on the ball I may as well start planting my fall garden.

    Beautiful gardens.
    Where do you get all that straw? I need mulch really bad.
    I only live 30 miles west of you. The straw around here is covered in too much poison. Your help would be much appreciated.

    That's the idea, Reed! Get every square inch of ground into production!

    Looking good, there.

    Seeker,

    I got the straw here at Circle E Farm and Ranch Store here in Edmond. It's very nice wheat straw but the only issue is that I now have wheat coming up everywhere. I figure that the summer heat will take care of that.
