Wow - I haven't written for awhile since life has been so crazy. Between the garden, kids, work, the house....where does time go? Anyhow- I gotta update this year's 'garden good times' to remind me how each year is SO DIFFERENT.First the highlights:
- Landscaper fabric is working famously. It has been a very dry season and I feel like it is helping keep moisture in.
- Early tomatoes! Everything is early this year! I have been canning for the last two days!
- Beans doing great
- Amazing cabbage
- Lots of garlic
- Nice and 'clean garden'
- News beds formed with sheet composting is working FAMOUSLY
- Topsy turvy peppers and egglplants working GREAT, squash not so great, dries out too much
- Most amazing BEETS!
- So far new pumpkin patch looks good!
- Growing basil on the porch in containers working great
Garden Pitfalls:
- Put in soaker hoses too late and they also split.....
- BUGS......I will dedicate another post just to this. All I can say is BLISTER BEETLES.
- Because of bugs, lost alot of 'food'
- Squash in topsy turvy dries out way too quickly
- Too many squash?? Is that a problem?
Pics of topsy turvy and bug story to follow!
