From the first week of April until the 26th of June we got about 1/2 inch of rain. I watered the garden an average of about 100 hours per week during May and the first three weeks of June. It paid off. Here's what we picked this morning.

We finally got three inches of rain Sunday night, and another 1.2 inches yesterday. Vines are in good shape, so the 'maters and peas should continue to bloom and produce for several more weeks. I have younger tomato plants set, so I hope to have them until the fall. The okra and peppers will just keep on and on, until frost or when I decide to mow them down.
 
Pretty Impressive!

Looking good. It's going to be a good harvest. Thanks for the post,
and nice pic, too. TACC1
 
Looks great. I'll bet those purple hulls taste good. Must be nice to get all that rain. We've had slightly less than 1/4" since January 1. I grow a few tomatos and peppers and have to water them with city water which isn't the best.
 
Looks good!!

I have a patio vegetable garden and just began picking tomatoes and jalapenos this week.
 
My wife and I started a garden this year which we co-opted with my parents. Next year we are planning on building a greenhouse to help with cold weather crops.
 
That is beautiful. We don't grow much but sagebrush and mesquite trees! Happy for you.
 
We been sorely lacking rain hear, but the garden is finally producing. I canned 17 pints of turnips, and 14 pints of beets last weekend.
 
Red, that looks good!

You are getting it coming in a lot earlier than we are up here in the mountains- but I haven't had to water any at all this year. :)

Give me about three more weeks, and I'll have a bit to display...if I can kill some more groundhogs. :mad:
 
man I have shelled a bushel and a peck of the blamed peas!! Did I mention I hate shelling peas......
