I keep chickens (I have many...we're only supposed to have 6, but how can 6 chickens feed 6 people, including 3 growing boys? )and I have a garden-tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and I'm putting in the cucumbers today or tomorrow.
The chickens are only 2 months old-my last herd was killed by raccoons-with some help from a bitter and nasty ex husband, so I had to start over!

@Nepen just noticed your straw bale gardens, how do those work out for you? :)
not working for me :( The plants I planted since middle of April still only an inch or two tall, some I have to keep re-seeding because it just stop growing and stood there for a few weeks then die. Mostly tomatoes. I read that plant not growing can be from not enough nutrient so I put more fertilizer in and they started growing a little now (still about 2 inches tall). But the wild tomato seeds from last year tomatoes already 2 feet high and flowering, eventhough it stated to grow later!

For flower lovers; The Best Flowing Plant Combination Is Zinnia's And Cosmos, I don't care what people say they are absolutely stunning.

Tilled the garden, took up almost all the soil we could, took rocks out of it, put it back. Then tilled again, in this order 2x.
