Veggie Tales - May 2022
Comments (97)Been warm and sunny. Supposed to be getting some more rain in tonight- don't have to water the garden :) Got some more yard debris picked up- and dropped along the yardline between me and the neighbors that like to wander my backyard on occasion. Got a lot of cleanup behind the barn to drop out that way too. At least golf carts of giggling twits can't drive through my backyard proper very easily now. A round of adventure mowing done- spotted an american woodcock bobbing along when I went out back by the horse grotto to trim out some branches overhanging the trail too much. Funny little bird, first time I've spotted one they usually hide so well. Yesterday got a purple, a white, and a red grape, two red raspberries, two gold raspberries, a red currant, a black currant, and the big ole bucket of hops all planted out in the gardenyard, My love offered to come out to help me dig and mulch in the sun- he is feeling it today, lol. Gave the veggie beds a bit of a drink feed yesterday... and weeded out the garlic bed- a whole 10 minutes and clean! Still need to harvest the narrow leaf plantain out of the pepper bed....See MoreVeggie Tales March 2023
Comments (57)A little bit of poking around in the kitchen garden. Trays hardening off a week ago are seeing their first full night outside under the caps. A few of them got planted in. I figure if the overwintered ones are good, the new ones might as well go in where the are supposed to go instead of stayng in the trays. Two bins planted with taters. Kinnebecks. The grapes, raspberries, and asparagus I potted up a week ago got moved out to a cap. A lot of stuff got watered with compost water, the bin under the tumbler was full and brown. A big spending day for the garden. Plant orders. I get to start with the new fruits and nuts this year. A smokehouse apple ordered through a local nursery. I already have a couple apples out back to add this one to. Also picked up German Butterball potatoes to plant two more kitchen bins with. Then it was online ordering. Four pomegranate bushes, two white, two pink. I realize red is more traditional, but pink and white mean less staining. An apricot, ligonberry, jostaberry, flowering currant, serviceberries. A couple shellbark hickories, two each of three kinds of hazelnuts. I think I'm going to need to finish up the plant nursery out back sooner rather than later, lol. I ordered smaller plants, so it's likely I'm going to want to grow them out for a year before planting them out. I'm kind of proud of myself for ordering this year. Usually I think about it too early in the fall when I'm harvesting stuff and it's too early to order plants... then forget about it till I'm out spring plant shopping and it's too late to order what I want. Completely blew the budget. Hopefully it will be worth it in a year or few :)...See MoreVeggie Tales April 2023
Comments (87)Cindy it's been raining here for about the past 12 hours for a grand total of 2.25". Like you we really needed it and the ground has soaked it up with ease. Sat will be dry for a brief break before getting more rain on Sunday at maybe another inch. Nothing violent here, no high winds or lightning, this should end the pollen season for the most part. The week ahead looks coolish with the lowest temp predicted at 44F by Weds morning, otherwise sunny with daily highs around 70. The garden is very happy today....See MoreVeggie Tales >>> June 2023
Comments (84)The heat is now officially turned on here, humidity too + smoke. Looks like after today there's going to be a long stretch of 90's with spotty rain chances. Some more garden pics below from this morning...sure glad we got a ton tomatoes setting before this heat hits... One of my cheatin' tomato plants, have already picked 8 off of this one... One of the later tomato plants, most are loaded down, just a wild carrot/bloom mixed in... Some typical jalapeno peppers for the next batch of chili..... Some yellow summer squash......See MoreCindy 7 VA
