Absolutely Nothing! I pulled up all my T-posts after tearing down my electric fences.
And, took a stroll by the fig tree. Plucked a few ripe ones and ate 'em
I never knew marigolds could grow that tall.
Your garden is way ahead of mine.
How big is your strawberry patch?
It's a lovely patch of berries. I'd sure pick & eat some right now.
Alas, I'm still discing & raking grass roots. Seems every time I do, it then rains. Today I plan to stake those tomatoes when I get home from work. It's really hot out there now 84 at get up. Muggy. So it goes.
Planting some corn is my goal for the weekend -- Fall decorations in mind. Have some seed for Bloody Butcher & Painted Mountain. If I can get a decent # of ears I will selll it for displays. Willl run a few hills of pumpkins along side to let the vines help shelter for weeds. Pumpkins can sell or feed the animals.
I need to transplant my butternut squash real soon. Another cover the ground vine. Seeds were from some I raised and had huge yields from only 3 plants. They dried well and were good eating for about 9 months out. Have 8 plants up this year -- guess I'll be gifting and canning!
Gardens are a LOT of WORK!!!!
Yes they are. And, I find the prep, planting and maintenance to be the easy part. It's the processing that becomes a daunting task.
