Hard work is done.

I got my garden in. I will start planting this week. I was going to just till it up and plant but I have wanted raised beds so I decided to put the extra work in and do it. Hopfully wont be as much work next spring. I am probably too late to plant some of the stuff I wanted to but I am going to try anyway. Hopefully the work pays off.
 
Now I can move on to fun stuff like building tripods for pole beans and planting.

Lakota, my grandfather would plant his pole beans in same hill with the corn. when he dropped a seed of corn he would also drop a bean and they would grow together. The bean would climb the corn stalk and you would not have to stake the beans. If you plant half runners you dont have to stake.

We are still in the pre-planting and planting stages in zone 4, so if you are equal or further south I wouldn't think you'd have any problems with still planting.

I am in zone 5. I also have some half runners to plant. I thought about planting my pole beans and corn together but I have never had much luck with corn. It rarely gets taller than 2 ft but that didnt stop me from buying some to plant! Maybe I'll have better luck with it in my new garden.

Zone 5 is prime corn growing territory - dont give up! If you still have trouble in your new garden, post some pics...maybe someone on here can  help you out.

I have more blooms than I care to count on my yellow summer squash, as well as my spaghetti and butternut winter squash plants.  I have five yellow squash fruits and three (mixed) winter squash so far.  Peppers also have fruited, and the tomatoes have small fruits on them.  The beans, and sweet corn are coming up, and the popcorn is almost waist high.   


I did get an early start this year though.

I have corn, 9 hills of pole beans 2 different types of half runners cucumbers dill potatoes cauliflower peppers brussels sprouts carrots green bunching onions and a ton of onion sets planted. I am going to add another row for tomatoes and more beans. I am building  planter from scrap lumber  to keep my salad greens up off the ground. Besides the plants I put in I have 6 hills of pole beans up and some carrots sprouting. The last time I planted carrots I wound up with a 5 gallon bucket full of 3 to 4 inch carrots.
