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...

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...
