These (3) photos are of the tomato plants. They are blossoming and starting to have a lot of
tomatoes on the plant...
(2) photos of the pepper plants...
Every year I always plant some Marigolds thought out the garden. Not only do they looks nice but
they help in keeping some insects and critters away...
Photo #1 shows the cucumber plants and photo #2 shows the pumpkin and squash plants...
The garden has been really dry. In these (3) photos you can see I have been doing some watering...
Here in these (2) photos you can see the potato plants starting to blossom...
In this photo the green beans are blossoming too and if you look close you can even see a small
string bean forming...
We have been having some problems with small critters this year. This photo shows a new fencer
installed. My original fencer was a five mile 1000V with the new one being a 20 mile 8000V.
This new fencer has been working real good keeping the animals out. Knock on wood...
This photo is of some of the lettuce...
More Marigold photos...
Here I have put up a rain gage to keep track of the rain amounts...
These are (3) photos of how the garden is progressing in the early to mid part of July...
Here in these (2) photos you can see we have finally gotten some rain...
This photo shows the garden nice and wet now. There is nothing like a natural rain to soak into
the garden...

This fellow is the latest addition to the garden. Our first planting of corn got ate by the crows.
The second planting is doing well and no crows have landed in the garden...
These (4) photos show how I water the garden when we haven't gotten any rain for a while. I usually
pump the water out of our creek but that has been real low this summer. I have a 200 gallon water
tank that I get filled at the town building. It cost $1.00 for 200 gallons. Then I use a PTO pump
on the tractor which feeds (2) sprinklers...
This next group of photos are of some work my Wife has been doing in the flower beds around the
house...
On the 13th of July we had an all day rain storm. These first (2) photos are from the garden web
cam. The third photo shows how much rain we got on the rain gage...

In these next few photos you can see how the garden is progressing getting towards the end
of July...
Photo #1 shows one of the tomato plants. These plants are constantly being staked up as they
grow and get more fruit. The next (2) photos are of a couple of the pepper plants...
In photo #1 you can see how the zucchini are coming. These seem to grow real fast from the
time you see the fruit start to form to when it's time to pick them. I think the rain really helps
them. The next (3) photos are of some of the cucumbers as they are starting to produce...
These (3) photos are of the squash area. There is everything from pumpkins, butternut squash,
acorn squash, zucchini, and cucumbers in this area...
This photo shows how much water we have gotten in the last week. It's been nice not to have to
water the garden...

This first set of (6) photos were taken from around the house and driveway to show how things are
filling out and progressing through the summer...
In July we had some very heavy rain storms where we received over 3 inches of rain and then the
temperatures got real hot for almost 2 weeks. 95 to 100 deg. temperatures. This was a breeding ground
for diseases. We lost all the cucumber plants and the squash plants were hit hard. We have been
nursing everything a long and the rest of the garden is doing well. This photo shows how the grape
tomatoe plants are doing...
These (2) photos show how some of the peper plants are doing. They are producing very well this

Well the garden this year has been producing very well. A lot of tomatoes have been canned, vegatables
put up in the freezer, and just a few things are left to harvest. The potatoes and onions still need to
be harvested a long with the pumpkins. These 2 photos show my son Christopher and I getting the last of
the corn in...
