Well the weather here locally couldn't be better for gardening. My neighbors off to the north, and west about 30m, not so lucky. They have had some severe summer weather, with tornadoes and damaging winds. Unusual for east central NY.
We have been very fortunate and our beans and other broad leaf plants have the largest leaves, blossoms and stalks that we have ever had. We had to put side racks on the tator boxes in center of garden 16" up so we could contain and get between the boxes which are 4' apart and 12'x4' wide.
Haying season here has sucked for anyone trying to make dry hay, but here on clinton Camp Farm we can cover 250A in about 4 days rounding and tubing balage. The uncles mow and rake the alfalfa hay, and a custom baleing crew comes in and bales, loads and transports the bales to their storage location, where they tube it up. First cutting yeilded 4-5 ton/A.

they will start second cut the first of the comming week, if weather cooperates
Last pic., the 1959 Case 711B is having a tussel cultivating, HeHe.

That is an impressive garden! Maybe you should write a book? Pretty country in the background, too. That last photo looks like something from a sci-fi movie where the corn mutates due to radiation or something. Thanks for the photos.
 
yea,!!! looking really good, that corn makes your case look like a toy, you don't by chance grow them bean stalks that grow up to where a giant keeps a goose that lays golden eggs, do ya. ? nice pics, thanks for sharing. :)
 
anywhere close to Osceola Co. in NY. Company I work for, sounds like we are getting a job to design a fiber to the home (FTTH) for the whole county.
 
Very impressive! A couple of questions. What are your box frame materials? Do you stake or cage tomatoes? What is your soil makeup? Thanks for sharing.
 
Looks awesome and something to appreciate when you put up all the bounty from it !

I got my annual inspection from the NYSP aviation unit last week, looking for something other than my tomatoes, but some green ones were on the vine, so hopefully they saw them, figured it out, don't need the front door busted in over tomatoes LOL ! The illegal search and seizure thing does come to mind here. They are only off by 1 week when they did the same thing last year. I guess they check vegetable gardens now, made one loop and that was it. My friends brother in law, same thing, and he's an attorney, and a local judge, his daughter waved to them LOL!
 

That's impressive, I'm not going to show it to my wife! How do you keep the deer out?

From your pictures it looks like my garden is about two weeks behind yours. Which would be about normal for the distance north from you. My peas are just starting to pod out now and the beans are blossomed. We have a few small summer squash formed. Just put in the second planting of radishes yesterday.
 
Billy, we get the benifit of a Fort Drum based Blackhawk for local pot sniffing activities. Haven't seen any yet this year, but it won't be long.
 
I was not really aware they were checking gardens in the past, having a garden all these years, never saw them do this until recently, just maybe the last few years. I see their aircraft seemingly often enough, one time during spring planting, after a bank robbery, had a UH-1 right over me while I was on the 3150JD cultipacking oats, that got me nervous, being in the middle of a field, no clue what was going on, rotor wash was blowing dust around. The NYSP barracks is within a couple of miles, state road is nearby, so they parallel that often, service the area etc., given accidents, and or other events, sure is not rural like it once was, so I hear one go overhead, look out and see it does a 180, half circles the south side of the house, tilted in, observer looking down, so I assume that is the deal. Unfortunately I did not plant all of the upper garden this year, well I'll put some greens in shortly. So its just tomatoes and bell peppers and a thick carpet of pig weed on the remaining area which I am going to till in, or cut/pull then till in, which will enrich the soil, so it is a lush green patch with no mulch so they can't see what it is easily, maybe that's why the fly over, later on the return they came by in one direction real low with the garden in plain view, so being this time of year when they do this anyway, has to be what it is. I had some health related problems during planting, so it was left unfinished, normally its mulched with grass, which is tan and you can see whats in there from above or I would assume so.

I know one thing, woodchucks just love pigweed, tops and young plants, I could just leave the gate open and leave a note, all you can eat, free, just don't touch the tomatoes LOL !

AR NG must join in to help law enforcement on those details, they don't seem to search the overgrown fields where someone would likely do this, + all the nearby crop fields, just my garden LOL, well 1x annually or so it seems.
 
Bonnan,
The boxes are treated 2x10s. The soil vairies from box to box. All composted materials and sand.
We have a rack and slat system to support the Mators as seen in the one pic. The area between the boxes is 2-4" of #2 river stone ontop of 6mil. black plastic. Works great and weeds arn't a problem.

Jen,
I'm hopeing one of those eggs will get kicked out of the nest box, and land in the garden where we will see it. HeHe.

There is no Osceole Co in NY. Choices are Counties starting with (0), are Orleans, Ontario, Oswego, Otsego, which I live in, west to east, and Orange Co. down state.
