Garden updates!

Hey everyone! Long time no talk! I have been super busy with my family in town, going to Yellowstone with my in-laws, and having my wedding! Anywho, now that I’ve had time to go through my garden I figured it’s time for some updates! It’s a gorgeous rainy day and the plants are loving it. My carrots are starting to form. I can kind of dig and see little baby carrots! My beans, cucumbers, and peas are not doing so hot. My chickens have just been obliterating them and not giving them a chance plus the sun beats on them all day. I think I might pull them out and replant them somewhere else. My gourds are taking over my garden. I need to plant some trellises in the middle of them in hope of them growing up instead of out. I have two little baby gourds and a crap ton of flowers. My male flowers are blooming beautifully. I’m not sure if I am going to cover them and manually pollinate or not. I will have to do more research first. I think my squash plants are blooming as well. I have some of my own tomatoes growing now! I am so excited since my first round of tomatoes all died. My sunflowers are forming their first heads and they’re huge! As well the corn is growing rather nicely. Outside of the garden my raspberries are doing amazing. I ate a couple over the weekend and have some new ones ripening up. I wonder how you get large harvests because you only get about two or three ripe at a time and they don’t preserve long enough for more to join them. I also have my first strawberry growing and lots and lots of flowers. They are doing just great. I am very excited. Here’s some pictures!
