Final planting











Finished planting all of the beds.  It was hot again this year so we needed the ez-up.  We spaced everything farther apart this year so heedfully it will be beneficial.  We also used a much stronger rope for the tomatoes that should not brake like last year.

Flood damage




We have had a massive amount of rain this year.  The beet seedlings have taken a beating and the garden paths are now a creek.  If not for the raised beds the garden would have been washed away.
