It will be my first try to plant broccoli and I just hope that I can produce a perfect broccoli like yours.Tabby Jumbohttp://www.tabbyplush.com/store/Jumbo_Stuffed_Animals.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-38198453320376738872011-07-20T18:57:54.780-04:002011-07-20T18:57:54.780-04:00Gina, my husband was looking over my shoulder last...Gina, my husband was looking over my shoulder last night when I clicked over. He chuckled and said, "She can't live anywhere around here!" <br />We are in Oklahoma where much of the state is in severe drought conditions and currently rationing water. We're also experiencing a heatwave that began in June and has not let up. Many are selling their livestock as they don't have grass anymore for grazing and hay is in shortage. The ponds are drying up and most gardens including ours are not able to withstand the 100 plus temps we're experiencing consistently. <br />Your bounty is wonderfully blessed and prayerfully next spring and summer will bring much of the same for us :-)! Please pray for Oklahoma.<br />Blessings, JulieJuliehttp://lifeatfortyacrefarm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-4566926070853530612011-07-20T10:29:33.792-04:002011-07-20T10:29:33.792-04:00We are zone 3/4 so right now we are just getting p...We are zone 3/4 so right now we are just getting peas. Beans are not ready yet. We've harvested all the strawberries, and are now into kale, pakchoy (which is bolting due to hot days), lettace (non bolting type), and herbs - camomile, caraway, oregano and basil. Soon there will be some beans, cucumber and summer squash. Our winter squash are doing well with lots of blossoms and little tiny squash started. The corn is thigh high so it's about on schedule. Radishes have been harvested and have gone by now, the only crop we do a double planting of. We have green tomatoes... don't suspect they will ripen till the very last thing, but so delicious! Jacob Cattle have lots of blossoms, but they're a fall crop too. We planted carrot because we got some free seed and I just finished thinning them. The parsnips are up and doing well, they will not be harvested for another year or two. Parsnips are my favorite root veggie. I'm very patient :) and it's fun to pull them up as soon as the soil warms up in the spring. <br /><br />Beets are suffering this year, but we still have lots in the freezer from last year.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful harvest this year.Mrs. Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703464320152527607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-57856639466360504532011-07-19T18:30:08.286-04:002011-07-19T18:30:08.286-04:00Hi Gina, Thank you for showing me your garden.

We are zone 4<br />and have received so much rain up until two weeks ago and then the drought came, but the plants are loving it. That said so are the weeds, and the mosquitoes. Bad year for them. This morning after a thunderstorm....deer flies. Can't win. But we are eating all our vegetables and fruits from the garden.The Heritage Farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16330982242823530106noreply@blogger.com
