2024 Garden!

[Dave N]

Dug a couple holes in the mud and put in the tomato plants. Cut my daily supply of asparagus and saw a few more sprouting in the empty spots but I think I have a hole to fill next year. Damn ground squirrels last year dug a few holes and apparently killed some plants. I'll flag the ones that come up when I'm done picking and then next year fill in around them.

Got mine rototilled. Got my fur baby's radishes in. Our black pug just loves those. Gives her gas but the vet said OK as long as they don't otherwise bother her. She's been eating radishes since we got her and begs us to dig some up for her when they are ripe.

I took a shot and put zucchini seeds in. Figure of ole man Frost gets them, I just plant more. Got tons of those kinda seeds. LOL

Gonna put rest in around memorial day.

A good portion of dinner tonight came out of the garden. Spinach and lettuce in the salad and rhubarb custard for dessert.

My daughter and I got most of ours in on Sunday. We still need to do beets, peppers, tomatoes, and watermelon as things warm up. Sweet corn rows will be staggered 10 days apart. A major bonus is that morels have been popping up all around the garden. Enough for a few feasts.

My apiary is in my garden so I’ll post here.

Caught a swarm yesterday. Probably from my two hives although they are packed with bees when I checked.

I now have a third hive I didn’t foresee.

 

[NoWiser]

Seeing the first signs of life from the asparagus crowns I planted a few weeks ago. Now I just need to be patient for a couple more years.

After checking in the garden we ate a quick meal and I told the kids to throw on their tick-treated clothes, we’re going turkey hunting. I popped up the blind and set out some decoys. An hour later two Toms appeared on the horizon. A half hour after that, only one left the decoys. They must have loved it because I got some extra big hugs at bedtime last night.

Nothing pummeled by the rain and everything is shooting up. Beans are out-climbing the corn so I put a trellis up for them. They'll probably end up climbing to the porch too. If I do another 3 sisters bed next year then I'm going to stagger the planting and give the corn a head start. All the tomato plants have blossoms and some already have tomatoes formed. Sweet peppers are starting to form as well. Waiting for some squash blossoms to show up.

 

[Keep on]

Not much better than fresh strawberries straight from the garden. Except maybe strawberry rhubarb pie.

 

[brymoore]

Frosted last night…

 

[JustinsDad]

Gophers have infested my pasture by the thousand. I had to buy a bunch of 500 gallon planter boxes. I can no longer plant in the ground.

 

[gouch]

Got corn, zucchini, pumpkins, butternut squash, tomatoes, onions, beets, sun flowers, cucumbers and swiss chard growing in the garden,
My peaches are getting bigger

cherries are ripening

and the strawberries are going crazy

 

[JShane]

one bucket of potatoes, couple of the winter squash varieties, dent corn rolling along. Garden is getting pummeled by the heat, zucchini is about run its course, tomatoes are battling fungus, cucumbers dealing with powdery mildew but still producing, second run of beans are producing. Sweet potatoes are hitting their stride.

 

[brymoore]

It’s been a cold spring. I thought I could catch up on Memorial Day weekend. Instead, it’s going to snow.

 

[np307]

We're pretty close to having a lot of produce to pick. The first squash and zucchini are on the window sill and a few more squash will come off tomorrow. Tons of cherry tomatoes are ripening and I'm watching the first Cherokee purple very closely. Can't wait for that first tomato sandwich. Corn has tassels and silks now, cucumbers are climbing well. Peppers and beans are looking good.

I also decided to do a second planting of tomatoes and peppers in containers. They've all mostly taken root.
