Here is the main garden. In time, this will be transformed into mostly raised beds-excepting the corn, potatoes and green beans. But for now, it is a standard row garden with some raised beds mixed in. The beds are not in boxes but just heaped up. We are working compost into to all the beds which really takes time. I'm pretty happy with it though because just 2 months ago, it was plain pasture. Sod. I believe Drew said it is 75'x120'.
Right now, with all the rain we've had, it is laying heavy with water. The clay soil holds it in so much and it seems to take a long time to dry out. We are praying our corn and bean seeds don't rot. By the way, the little foil collars on the tomato plants are working! :)

Your garden is big. My vegetable garden is only two or three times as big as your son's. You have a lot of work set out for you, but it looks spendid, and the produce will be wonderful, I'm sure. What a lovely place to live.
I have Iris blooming too. So far only my dark purple is open, but it is my favorite one.

Yes, it IS big and now it is starting to GROW! :) I have some helpers and the Lord willing, we sure are looking forward to the harvest. We really like where we live and recognize daily that it is only because of God's goodness and mercy that we have what we have and that we are here.
Aren't irises beautiful?? We have many more coming on and I just love it. Those purple are so stunning.
