Really good land. Flat and fertile.

Lovely fertile looking soil there. You have it all laid out so neat. Great display of fresh veggies too.  When we were growing up, there was no such thing as going to the shop for vegetables or fruit. You either grew your own or bought it fresh from the local farmer. Nothing like it.

You just brought back memories for me. My grandparents had a large garden at the farm where he worked and my mother helped them with it and shared in the produce. The farm was right across the highway from where they lived on the edge of town. They called it a truck patch. My parents in law also had a big garden. A garden was part of most people's lives back then. My husband and I planted about an acre and half of garden. We filled our basement with hundreds of jars of veggies, juice, and pickles, and the freezer with corn. Now, my "garden" consists of about four tomato plants, and maybe some yellow summer squash. The weather has been so cold and wet, I haven't even tried to plant them yet. Now, I guess they will have to wait until we get home from Nashville. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Ahhhhh....... the memories of my husband's garden. The picture of the string line was so reminiscent of how Eric set up the rows. Like you, he found gardening so fulfilling.

I don't think a zero turn mower would be any faster than a mower that does an 8 foot swipe. Your canned goods made me think of the pear trees my husband planted. He said they were a good canning pear. HAH! They were so darn hard, even when fully ripe, that even cooked and canned, they were still crunchy. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Great blog Ranger. You obviously have a green thumb. Growing up where I lived we had a short growing season. Manure from the barn went on the garden all winter long. In the spring it would all be plowed into the garden. But the garden flourished even though it was a short growing season. Seeing your big garden patch reminded me of my mother's garden patch There was no such thing spraying with pesticides and mom would use some type of powder on cabbages to keep the moths away. She also canned everything as well.

What a lovely veggie patch and surroundings. And cages for plant support a good idea - thanks.
