What did you do in your garden today?

[frustratedearthmother]

Got hoop supports up, now to find some clamps. Lettuce and onions are starting to come along.

Also I have tomatoes from the plants started indoors!

Everything looks great!!

Once again!!!!!!! Tilled entire garden. in 3 weeks time. Looked like I had planted pasture. Soooo much root. This time used that rotary tiller, so finer and faster. But it looks like first ever with grass I see. Letting it rest. Filled gas tank and I'm gonna go till some pasture area gone amuck -- let THAT regrow like this garden spot I want! All I can say is this tiller works and I'm loving it.

I'll till all around a fence line in one, later I plan to burn everything inside it. Then till that and shut the gate! I'll toss some seed I have after burn and before till. . What grows, grows. Deal with it mid June. goats love weeds!

Trying something new to me. I'm pruning the PD beans back and hoping for rejuvenation. I noticed a lot of new growth coming on from the bottom, so I took off some of the more stressed growth above it. I did some research and found out that it's something that some folks do on the regular. Like I said - new to me and my fingers are crossed.

We've got rain in the forecast. Real rain chances for the next 5 days! So, I thought this might be a good time to do it when the temps will be down and (hopefully) abundant moisture.


I didn't prune the plants that I'm going to collect seeds from obviously, lol. (just in case I've killed all the others )

Hope your beans do well! Plants are amazing sometimes. I'll say that they are sure pretty growing....do those pods change to green when cooked? If not, paired with some yellow wax you have a real pretty plate to serve.

Since I'm at square one with my garden area--but determined!--I put an 8' tilled area along fence of two pastures. Late day I'm burning some old stuff laying from cutting a couple weeks ago. Good riddance. This is a revamp situation for those pasture areas. I have lime and some seed to add after burn. Will rough till top couple inches and hope for best. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. At least one of them will be tilled and seeded with barley for some winter green graze....about late August.

Will hit this garden again tomorrow and decide where I think I am. . Right now, lunch....just had a nice shower! It's 92 out and sweating while riding thru a dust storm is wicked!

@Mini Hores: I'm totally happy for you and your new tractor drawn tiller! My neighbor has one and offered to till for me - but my gardens are all behind fences. Works to keep the critters out - but also works to keep the large equipment out too. That's why I have a brand new tiller, lol. I didn't tell DH that I'd like to get to the point where I don't even have to till, but that's probably some years away anyway.

plant some new seeds if you have room for them, see if they'll survive the mid-summer heat. i'm guessing your first plants will give up after your 2nd crop. that seems to be about what i get from my earliest plantings. the later plantings go right up until the frosts for me. you might be able to get another later planting to do that too.

i never have enough energy or time to prune things here. i just let them do what they'll do and move on. there's only one of me and i'm still way behind on weeding a few gardens that i'd like to have done this coming week.

Nice rain late morning \o/. After it rained I weed wacked, planted lilacs, tied up tomatoes, hoed the row of tomatoes yet to mulch in hay. Then pulled a few double peppers and planted them where the ones that didn't survive transplanting. Then I hoed all 5 rows of peppers. I still have a lot of double peppers, looking for someone who can take some. I really need to pull all but one for them to grow up big and strong. I'm sure I'll get a taker sooner rather than later.

BTW... It's smelling so good around here. This is my wife's honey suckle growing on a old fence row from the 70's. It's just starting to bloom. She put her foot down and said, you will not pull up that fence row honeysuckle is a lot like the BORG. Resistance is futile, we will assimilate you!
