The garden has been slow this year but its finally starting to grow in and produce. My neighbor was cleaning out part of their canal this weekend and offered me a bunch of duckweed so i mulched around the plants with it. It should add lots of fertilizer as it breaks down and help hold water. This is my third year planting onions and have yet to have one grow larger than ping pong ball....i just transplanted five that lived through the winter that i planted last spring and they are still tiny...Any advise would be much appreciated.

Green beans & Okra

Corn that will get weeded this week and will be planting another couple of rows to prolong the harvest.

Squash, Zucchini, Onions, Peppers and Cucumbers, Tomatoes

Wild flower mix to help with the bees doesn't look like much but they should start flowering soon.

My tomatoes are loaded. My peppers finally set fruit and are loaded. My squash, once again, are growing and blooming but won't set fruit. Brussel sprouts from last fall are finally nearing ready. The rain bout destroyed everything else. Oh, and my potato plants are toppling over in foliage. Hope the amount of foliage is indicative of the amount of taters I will get. Lol

Yeah my tomatoes are growing good too. Last count I have about 45 or so. One of my peppers are doing good but the other just in the last couple of days or so started to flower. Hopefully I'll get some from that one before too long.

I'm proud that you boys are having a garden. Them 'maters, peppers, corn and squash look great!
It is still so wet here in the panhandle that a lot of land is just too wet to hold up a tractor. Part of out place was disked a month back and it has rained way too much to think about bottom plowing. Last night we got 2.4" on top of 1.4" on Mother's Day afternoon and don't forget the week before when there was 20" west of us, we didn't get but around 5" that round.
We'll get a break one day and be able to plant something, for now it looks like the raised beds will have to do.
Food plot is still under, crawfish towers showin' up in the road :eek .
