This is an account of my gardening, now on the prairie of NE Iowa. I used to live closer to the Mississippi River in another county. I formerly lived in Northern CA, in the Coastal Range of Mountains, a completely different climate. I used to garden at a friend's farm there. I recently purchased a home with some vacant land and will transform it into a large, new garden in 2020. Come and garden with me through the seasons in NE Iowa. I'll show you how to do it!

July Progress photos #1
Here are the latest photos from the garden. The weeds and space have been overwhelming. We had to hire help to weed since our boy isn't here to help. I gave up getting the squash and melons in. Too late. We just aren't young in body any more, our minds want to do more than we really can because we remember being young and able.
Here are my petunias, growing in pots around the kitchen garden and hydro units.

More pictures of Garden
First, left, we have the rows of peas, Maestro, Laxton's #9, and Serge. Next we have the onions, a portion of them. And below is the new addition, space behind the barn. We will have pumpkins back there, and the raspberries, rhubarb and asparagus.
Yes, we have some weed problems, but we are dealing with them. We are mulching with hay, and hand weeding.
