Our garden gives us the chance to enjoy more of what Texas has to offer, good and bad.
This includes hot days with singing birds and warm nights with flashing lighting bugs and plenty of mosquitoes. It took a lot of work to get here, compare two pictures one taken in February and the other taken today. Fresh zucchini and cucumbers have already graced our salads. The Tomatoes are well on their way as well as the corn and cantaloupe. We have met some setbacks. Our electric fence cannot keep everything out. The squash vine borer took out 5 Zucchini plants already. I performed surgery to extract them from all our plants, but I obviously missed some.
The cabbage worms and corn worms are having their way with their respective victims. But good will overcome. We will see if our sunflowers reach the promised 8 ft height and the watermelons really grow to 250 lbs.

You have an awesome garden, sorry about the vermin and the problems they're creating for you. Your trellis looks really cool too. People are just planting here.
We love our Texans!
