I got the damned garden planted...
Took me most of Saturday and part of today. I tuned over the dirt in the planters about two weeks ago and added a bit of slow release fertilizer. This year I have kale, 6 Heirloom tomatoes, turnips, collards, chard, green beans, sweet corn (enough for about 60 ears), soybeans, zucchini, Winter squash, and two Heirloom varieties of cantaloupes (Jenny Lind, which has very sweet green flesh, and Amish, which has deep orange flesh).
If there's no crop failure, things should be up in about 15 days. I think the danger of frost has passed: It was 80 degrees today. How about your garden this year? |

Debating ripping out about 2 dozen raspberry bushes and the corner garden that is a hot mess of rhubarb, raspberries, other stuff and weeds. I have a lot of work to do to get the property in a state that it no longer looks like it has been vacant for 3 years (because it has).
I'll buy you a plane ticket if you want to take care of my place. |

No garden, but laid a little Bermuda sod yesterday. Just watered some fertilizer into it a bit ago. This will be my first time trying to keep things growing.

I put mine outside in the sun yesterday. Now they are looking real droopy. I may give in and buy plants. I think I have a black thumb.

Get them out of the sun. "Hardening off" plants is a 10-day process. Just an hour of sun the first day, and gradually lengthen the time every day.

All we grow are herbs and chili peppers. My father in-law grows us tomatoes, and our rather impressive Farmer's Market handles the rest.
