Some photo's of my veggie garden.

Some tomatoes, squash, okra, peppers and various flowers and weeds. It should be more advanced but I got it in late this year but I'm Happy with it. Took the photo's this morning.

1. Lookin' good

should keep the deer well fed.

[moobu2]

2. It's all fenced in so

all they could do is droll, lick their lips, and move along.

3. Don't be so sure

I've seen them do higher than this:

9. I wonder how high they can go

that looks like no effort at all.

[HarveyDarkey]

15. I've seen them do 12 feet with a run at it

This appears to be about 10:

4. Nice! I always

admire people who can grow actual gardens.

Gardens hate me. If I had to do it to survive, I would probably starve.

5. It looks great!

You are way further along than I am (PA). The weather here has been cool and rainy and I got a late start.

The flowers are really pretty too!

Hi,
Got a real late start here too because of the weather. Maybe I will have some tomatoes by September.

Peace

10. I love your door...

I'm on the 3rd year of a garden that raises organic produce for food banks. This year we got wise with a fence, and I'm trying to come up with a nice door.

Did you build that one?

13. I made the gate contraption out of stuff

I had around. I'm getting ready to redo it though because it's finally coming apart after about 10 years of service. I doubt it lasts the summer. I found out that landscape timbers rot after a time if buried in the ground.

The wood arbor like part is just some extra landscape timbers I had, the gate is an antique one I've had for forever and the metal rooster on top is from an old weather vane that was in my fathers workshop I found when I was cleaning out his stuff after he passed.

I used dog wire for the fencing material. I called around and got a really good deal on a roll of it and It's holding up well after about 14 years now. I also use it to make tomato cages and other plant support things.

I try to spend as little money as I can get away with, so I come up with all kinds of salvaged stuff and reuse it in the garden. A couple of weeks ago, I help a friend demolish his front porch and hand rails because it was nearly all made out of cedar and I got all of it for my work. I think I'm going to build some kind of pergola + gate thing out of it where my gate is now big enough so I can place a couple of chairs under it. Sitting is fun after hard work in the garden.

Years ago I made this gate out of bent oak twigs that worked for good a couple of years. It rotted but I think if I had painted it it would have lasted a good while longer.

You can Google search images for the term "garden gate" and see 1,000's of really good ones that put mine to shame but it can inspire you to come up with an idea for yours. Good luck. Didn't mean to go on, sorry.

14. Oh, not at all... I loved hearing about it...

I think your pergola is a great idea. You might have a nice vine over it and open a bottle watching the sun set!

11. very nicely done!

12. Man, that's awesome! I am such a City Girl now. No yard whatsoever.

Nice patio and then a public sidewalk. City living is really wonderful but I wish I had the money to have it both ways.

18. containers

[nolabear]

19. Those I've got! We have a roof garden on the upper deck. I call it The North 40.

[Rowdyboy]

16. Very cool! We don't have much of a summer garden-just 8 tomatoes....

But the spring garden was kick ass. We harvested 7 lbs of asparagus, 4 artichokes, English peas, broccoli, spinach, mustard, carrots and almost 6 lbs of cauliflower. And we have a cabbage that was sold as a cauliflower. It was big time for us.
