    Good news guys, I'm accidentally growing potatoes this year! I got them last year and re-planted them and they quickly died. They came back this year though.

    Awesome! The 3, 5 gallon buckets of potatoes I decided to try this year are all the way to the top. Alright I might as well share too!

    Here's the Backyard. Tree to the right foreground is plum. PVC trellis behind it is Grapes. Below them is a bed with Eqyptian walking onions (anyone want to try them let me know they are flowering now.) tree to the left of grapes is apple, and the one to the left of it as well. Behind those trees are blackberries. The two trees to the left are the ones that DSB gave us a good idea at what they were (either russian olive or buckthorn) Just behind and below those are Strawberries.

    Hops is doing well! The one on the left is 4 foot tall already. There is so much mint growing everywhere... It is taking over the rocks.

    And here is my 4x8s
    Right side is Cukes and Zukes, i'll have lettuce under them i thinks. Maters in the middle, and peppers will go on the left.

    I really want to try some radishes, but just haven't gotten to it. Didn't harden the seedlings good enough they is getting sunburn unfortunately. Behind these Raised beds there are 2 Plum trees.

    That's good, saves money and is healthier! Growing up in MI we relied on our garden it was like an acre plus. I hated it then, but now that I'm olderI'm just getting back in to it and can't wait till harvest!

    Me too! I really need to do a cost comparison. The initial expense is high, but there must be some savings over store bought stuff. I know it tastes hecka better. One thing I cannot wait for is the taste of a locally grown tomato. I have not had a tomato right out of the garden since I was a kid.

    Year 1 of Garden. This is the third year for the pear trees and second year for the rasberries. I too have a lot of seedinglings left. Peppers and a mix of tomatoes. Gonna keep them this week and will be giving them away after that. I always had a garden in Michingan and water was never an issue. This year's water bill is going to be looked over. A down spout reroute is on the list of items.

    List of items growing:

    Carrots
    Onions
    Tomotoes
    Green Beans
    grapes
    pears
    rasberries
    peppers (red, green and yellow)
    cukes
    cantaloupe
