Howdy. Here in central Texas we're under severe drought conditions. Needless to say, I've been having to water since planting our spring garden. It's not gonna be easy to harvest the crop we had last year. I've planted potatoes, okra, zucchini & yellow squash, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, beets and onions. Everything is up - the okra sprouted last week. There are a couple of volunteer bluebonnets that I have let be.

Beautiful garden... you can tell that you work very hard at keeping weeds away!

No kidding. Your garden looks great. I didn't have any volunteer dill come up this year. I may have to get some seeds and plant them this weekend. Your pepper plants are much larger than mine. I've also caged most of my early tomato plants.

In case you don't know, you can plant onions much closer than you have them spaced. I plant mine about 4 - 5 inches apart. I have a '50 plant set' in one row that is about 15 feet long.

Is that your normal soil? I’ve been amending the caliche on my farm like crazy.
