when are you sowing your garden this year?

[SamuraiCO]

Yea much cooler spring/summer thus far but I have had more hail. Seems that nothing I started from seed has done well. I need to start earier and invest in some type of plant cover until they get established. Going to put up hoops over the gardens next year. That should give some added protection against our weather.

Tomato plants are taking off with the waster nights. Peppers are looking good too. First year I will have pears!

My pear tree ( a bit bigger) looks just like that! I think my pears have a bit more bruises though from the hail.

My peach tree has had no interest fruiting this year. Does anyone know if I need to have a second peach tree to cross-pollinate?

[hollohas]

The peach trees I had growing up didn't need to cross pollinate. But I don't know if there are some varieties that do and some that don't.

I have had plum trees that did need to cross pollinate. However there are some grafted plum trees that don't need to cross pollinate because the tree is actually two different trees on one trunk. Don't know if they do that for peach trees or if peach trees just naturally self pollinate.

Here's an update of the Hollohas farm. This is half of it.

Wow, I really admire your gardening set-up. Where did you get your hoops? Is that section planted in direct sunlight? How often do you water, and do you find soaker hoses to be worth it?

Oh- I found one little fuzzy green peach hiding among the leaves on my peach tree! So, it doesn't need cross-pollinating; it's just mocking me.

I am going to have to cover my raspberries next year with netting. The birds are eating them as they ripen.

Are you zoned for agriculture?

That's awesome man. I envy your setup.
