Veggie Tales - June 2017
Comments (348)We had storms overnight and I was pleased when I checked the garden this morning that 1) there was about 1.25" of rain in the rain gauge; 2) there was no damage from the wind. The garden looked pretty happy this morning, and I was tickled to see that the beans that I planted just a few days ago are already sprouting. At this time of summer I am always thankful for a good soaking rain. May you all be lucky enough to get periodic rains throughout the summer....See MoreVeggie Tales - December 2020
Comments (286)Lea, I think only squash grows faster than tomatoes-I have already had to move the light over the squash up two notches and peppers are definitely slow growing until they get about 5 or 6 inches tall. Cindy, I have about 100 sprouts now in the onions and leeks zone (where I am using the full spectrum light) and close to the same on tomato sprouts-still waiting on the peppers and the new seeds I just got in. The kohlrabi is sprouting like crazy-I always drop too many seeds in because they are so tiny....See MoreVeggie Tales - September 2021
Comments (97)September 30, 2021 Remember the apple tree that was blooming a few days ago. Here's a picture which I shoulda otta posted then. If you remember i also had photos of a quince that bloomed last Christmas and then again in the spring. The quince was on the vacant lot next door and got no attention. for years, other than I threw a spade full of manure at it, I think, earlier that spring. I think stress might cause this but the quince had been neglected and perked up after the manure treatment. This apple got a lot of manure last season and no attention this year. It also had loads of apples which I should of thinned but had no energy for any gardening this year other than sitting and watching the weeds grow. Any way; I may have Golden Delicious apples come ripe next winter....See MoreVeggie Tales - June 2022
Comments (133)I finished weeding and turning the patch with the bean tripod and there's also room for a July tomato seedling. I went to seed the Emerite bean seeds and then remembered the wood ashes. I almost quit then but realized I needed to apply the ash before planting and then wanted to water it in. So I quit after spreading some wood ash. Will water this evening. I read in yesterdays local newspaper of a new community garden here in far suburbia. The gardens were opened June 14. So we drove over last evening. All fenced with a nice locked gate, but the soil! They excavated a hillside to make it level which left a steep bank maybe 8 feet higher on the high side. And they didn't save the topsoil. It's all subsoil. One person had a 5 gallon bucket with ugly clay clods which they apparently couldn't break up from the brick state. But 9 out of 10, ten by 12 foot, gardens are planted. It was reported that all were spoken for. They provide a tank of water, which was empty; and there was a pile of mushroom compost. I guess it's free. On a positive note there was a spring running under the fence and down the hill toward the road. It would make a very positive addition to have a free flowing source of clean water. Just dig a hole, let it fill. The spring is running during about as much of a dry spell as we ever get. I was considering donating one of my trays of tomato seedlings, but there was no one there and it's too hot to leave them....See MoreRD Texas
