I will take some more pics of my FIL's garden, but this is from last weekend.


In this picture is corn, onions, and rattlesnake string beans. But this doesn't even begin to give an idea of everything he has. Over 1000 peach trees, a several plum trees, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelons, cantelopes, peas, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, etc... I'd get more pics up now but it is about to storm here.

That reminds me of my dad. He put 4 kids thru Catholic School with a garden like that.

Storm held off, so I was able to go snap a few more pictures.

Millions of peaches...

More corn, and our watermelon patch

Cucumbers and squash

More peaches...

Almost ripe.

Ha! FIL sells to the Choctaws in Neshoba County, and the general public locally, but nowhere near breaks even. He's "retired" but spends all day out there. He loves it. I help him out after work most weekdays for a couple of hours, and a good bit on weekends. I enjoy it, and he lets my kids take stuff to the local farmers market and keep the money.

Your dad's garden is beautiful, and much more practical. Would love to see more pics when y'all start picking.

That's not a garden; that's a farm.

Pretty cool hobby, though.
