Mom and Dad have a crosstie garden behind their house in Lattimore. Between the crosstie beds, there are walking paths to make it easy to weed or pick whatever is growing. The beds are irrigated with 'seepy hoses'. The first couple of rows are mostly cutting flowers that Mama likes to have throughout the year.
They planted lettuce and onions in early 2010 and they are shown in this picture.
In the bottom rows they have just planted corn (Silver Queen!). In the other rows they plant green beans (white half runners!), tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and a variety of peppers. In our area, we typically don't have another frost after mid April so the spring vegetable garden is usually planted sometime in late April. Some people use April 15th as the 'magic day', but Dad said Mr. Everett Lutz told him that April 22nd was the 'magic day'.
