Garden Update - Everything Planted and Positioned

Finished all planting and positioned the buckets in their locations.  The frame above the buckets in the picture below is for the string trellis.  I'll take some photos after I start stringing the veggies.  Today, the weather is mid-70's and absolutely beautiful.  It had been rainy and now it's not so time to spray the fruit trees.  Only the peaches produced blossoms and today was the first spray after petal fall.  Research tells me to spray after the bees and other insects did their pollination magic and set the fruit to the flowers.  Now, hopefully, it'll be pest control till production and I'm hoping production will be better than two years ago.

Now, about the pictures.  I can't make up my mind if it looks too white trash or not.  I'm finding I want to "dress it up" somehow.  After the plants are strong and climbing, I've got some bucket covers so I'll give it at least until then.  Actually, their not for the purpose of covering the buckets, but to maintain moisture.  Hopefully, they'll provide a second purpose of making my garden more presentable.  LOL.  For now, I have to water top down till roots deepen.
