The tunnel of love

Squash, melon and cucumber love that is...
These were taken June 20 after putting up the 2 cattle panels the night before. I bought them at Farm & Fleet for about $25 each. Pretty cheap for such a nice trellis heh?

Here's how they look now after just 3 1/2 weeks!

And the sun better come out and ripen these tomatoes before they fall over!

Squash is growing up tunnel fast!

I I took apart the old tuteurs that had 4 legs and cross peices and put back together just three legs and steepened the angle to make the footprint smaller so I can grow 4 different types of runner beans. Rylie helped me paint these and it was great fun. It got dark too fast and we still have one more to make. I'm hoping I don't run out of time I'm trying starting much later to avoid the Japanese beetle population. 

New winter squash beds

Since winter squash takes up far too much room I'm garden I decided to grow in "containers" this year or mini-beds. If it works well instead of rotating I can rotate out the dirt!
