I really like how you laid out the bales in a cross formation with the paths. It looks excellent. How is it now? It's June 16th today. Bet you have some lush plants. We are neck deep in squash trying to figure out what to do with it all.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-38446180597280072862011-06-09T18:23:16.863-04:002011-06-09T18:23:16.863-04:00Teresa - I have an earlier post about how I starte...Teresa - I have an earlier post about how I started my straw bale garden, but if you google the topic you will find many resources and ideas.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-28774561919657232362011-06-09T15:51:23.685-04:002011-06-09T15:51:23.685-04:00Your going into this in a big way ;) looking forwa...Your going into this in a big way ;) looking forward to seeing them come on.<br />Have a good week<br />See Yea George xxxGeorge The Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153242284238986801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-50946008363380342372011-06-09T09:58:51.021-04:002011-06-09T09:58:51.021-04:00Odd....I can't comment on your Thoughtless Thu...Odd....I can't comment on your Thoughtless Thursday post...."service unavailable"....but I can on this one! <br />I saw a bunch of lilies growing wild recently, aren't they pretty?<br />I love your new header.nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627958113283042574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-84728896761893416702011-06-08T23:31:08.702-04:002011-06-08T23:31:08.702-04:00Love your garden!

We just didn't get it planted what with trying to plant 1800 acres of corn and beans. I might fill it with flowers and fall veggies a bit later. I think I'm past the prime growing season, although some farmers are just getting the last of the crops planted around here.

Great idea and am looking forward to the progress of your plantings. <br /><br />Before we moved into town to get closer to my work I use to have a 35' x 125' garden (in the yard) and in some yrs. I would use the edge of the plowed field a farmer rented from us for his crops. I'd put 4 rows of sweet corn out that were 200' long or 4 rows almost 500' long. On those yrs. it would be Iowa, Silver Queen, Bi-colored and a variety where the cob was small for quick freezing.<br /><br />Keep up the updates.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-34408253660048809762011-06-08T10:17:27.234-04:002011-06-08T10:17:27.234-04:00My plants are in the ground but my seeds are not a...My plants are in the ground but my seeds are not all coming yet which has me worried.

I think we must've gotten all your rain; here it is so wet my farmer friends still haven't been able to get on their fields to plant.
