Here is some update pictures of son's turkeys. These are the ones that he hatched out. He has started to let them run loose some at times in the yard. They have to show each other who is boss so they do their strutting. lol

Here are the ones he bought. As you can see they are about the same size. The black ones are two weeks younger too.

Now then here is some pictures of our garden. The rows are right about 75 foot long.

Tomatoes are on the cattle panels. We have some really nice size ones now but waiting for them to become ripe.

This is some of the beets we have planted. We have 3 rows of them. lol Love those beets.

Then we have golden wax beans and cucumbers and corn. The cucumbers are a yellow variety and you can eat the peelings. No bitterness. I can't remember what they are called but hubby plants them every year.

This is son's row. We haven't gotten around to tilling beside his row so he has some weeds close to it.  He likes to grow his own row every year and take care of it to see what he can do. His row is where you see the cattle panels at the end.

We also have cabbage and broccoli that we are already eating.

Hope you are all having a  great summer. It is really getting hot here in So. Missouri. We are getting into the 90's and heat index in the 100's. The pool has warmed up quickly. We are looking into putting 35% peroxide in the  pool instead of the chemicals. If any of you know more about that please be sure and let me know. I have been doing some research on it and so far it looks good. We worry about the chemicals soaking into the body so much cause we are in the pool every day.

Well that's about it for now. Have a great day and weekend my friends.

I had to laugh about your son's row having a few weeds. My garden always has lots of weeds. I would love to only have a few.
It is really hot here too! We are having some sort of heat wave. I am ready to jump in our neighbor's pool too.
Have a wonderful week,
Pam

That is one big garden! How much time do you have spend maintaining it?

We have a (much) smaller Veggie garden, of 50 squares 3 feet wide, and paths in between each square, so we can reach every little part of the garden. So far we haven't planted in every square, we seem to lose steam when gardening pretty quickly...

So what does your son intend on doing with the turkeys?

Those turkeys have really grown! And your garden .... oh my goodness, it's huge! It looks wonderful.

I'm so glad you are trying to find alternatives to chemicals for your pool. Chlorine is one reason we avoid swimming in pools. We don't have a pool so I've never searched for alternative treatments, but I do know they exist. One place I can think of that might have something in their archives is Natural Home Magazine (they have a website).
