Let us start with one of my plum trees. She is only 3 years old and doing very well with our climate. When I bought it it was labeled Russian Plum. I have tried to find another without success. I may have to look into grafting one.
Here is a photo showing the progress the garden is making. I apologize for the sun spot in the photo. Could not seem to get a good shot. From the forefront you will see onions, green peas, green beans and sweet corn. There is cabbage some where in there as well. The wire mesh is to slow the deer down a little. I would prefer if I have first pickings, then they can have a share.
Here is a picture of my pumpkin and winter squash patch:
I grow some of my tomatoes in a greenhouse for two reasons. First is we have cold nights even through the summer. Last week we had 3 or 4 nights in the upper 30's. The other reason is the deer love tomatoes...need I say more. Last year they got brave and one walked into the greenhouse to get her fill. My helper Sahara was checking things out. She tends to help herself to vegetables.
Beautiful garden!! Am inspired so

Your garden looks epic! So large, must be amazing to have the freedom to grow so much.
Your plum tree is looking good too, and your tomatos.
I'd love to grow a squash or pumpkin but need more space.
Did you prepare all of your soil or just gor for it?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thank you! I have been building my soil in this garden space for 13 years now. I add organic fertilizer each year, and grow green manure crops to till under for more fertilizer. When I pull weeds I lay them between the rows and let them decompose for next years fertilizer.
Pumpkins and squash need lots of space. I have corn on both sides and they will eventually end up in the corn rows.

Beautiful gardens my friend. You must live somewhere warmer then me with that plum tree of yours?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thank you. This plum is very cold hardy. We have hot days and cold nights, but this plum takes it all in stride. I have 2 other plum varieties that are struggling. The others tend to bloom too soon in Spring before the bees are out. This one depicted here is self fertile and holds back on blooms a little longer.

Cool! Do you think a plum tree or a least a certain variety would grow in Nova Scotia, Canada?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I would think so. Many plums are good for Zone 4. The biggest concern I have is even though where I am is zone 5, we are actually zone 4 due to our micro climate. A couple of my other plums blossom too quickly in the Spring (one is good for Zone 5) and there are too few insects to pollinate. The one I pictured is good for zone 4, and was called a Russian Plum. Each year I get more and more fruit. Wish I could find another to plant.

That plum tree is so cute! 🤗 I've been wanting to have a plum, cherry, or nectarine tree, those trees which flowers during Spring season. Then I could enjoy the beautiful flowers and the fruits after. I have a cherry tree in a large pot but it won't flower for some reason. Sahara is such a beautiful four-legged helper ☺And lovely garden too.
