One condition of my helping in the veggie garden was the use of black fabric weed block... I'm just not that into weeding and that has been a major problem in past years.
The veggie garden was tilled up and turned over... It looks pretty bear.
We do have fruit trees, 2 peach, 2 pear, and 2 apple.
This little pear tree was pulled over toward the east by a wild and crazy vine of some type last year.
I'm trying to get it back straight by using the blue rope to pull it back...
I shorten the rope every day or so to pull it up.
So far, we've planted several varieties of tomatoes, 4 different colors of peppers,
yellow straight neck squash, 4 little corn plants for our grand daughter
and some string beans
The tomato cages are about 6 years old, but still holding up well.
Our property is fairly windy out on the back half,
so we've added old landscape timbers to help hold down the weed-block.
I really hope this works....
The apple blossoms are really pretty this year.
Now if we can just keep the birds away from the apples!
