What have you done today in the Garden?

Margie, I think fresh rosemary would work best. When we lived up north, a friend living in a wooded area had a terrible deer problem. I rooted rosemary cuttings and she planted them among her tomatoes and eventually all over her small garden. The deer stayed away and she actually got to harvest vegetables!

 

Got the garden planted yesterday. I needed the cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, green beans (120 seeds), carrots, radishes, sweet peppers. Got starter plants in jalapenos, banana peppers, several different types of tomatoes. I'll get some pictures once the weather cooperates.

 

I planted potatoes and transplanted basil. Lots of weeding.

 

watered hanging baskets again... sold a few things. weeded some more in the high tunnel. weeds just keep popping up. never ending. someday it will be weed free in there... ( I am dreaming at least). planted up some more of my flowers for bouquets. I am down to the delphiniums and larkspur... those green bells from ireland.... a few cosmos yet... I have a bout 15 50' rows planted up so far. then on to the garden itself.

 

Planted out tomatoes and potatoes as well as aubergines and courgettes. I also moved heavy furniture to our new house of which the table circular saw was the heaviest.

 

Checked everything for bugs...squished some squash bugs.....planted another opal basil plant, helped the cucumbers get a hold of the trellis strings, and some more ....also checked on my new split off of my bee hives (it's doing well)





Ooops...forgot the rear garden image...

 

I ripped a 2x4 and a 1x4 and made a trellis for my cucumbers today. I tied scrap rope every foot to give the vines more to climb up. Just making due with what I have laying around. It was getting dark when I took the picture and for some reason it made the picture look like a painting or something. Strange...

 

I had a market yesterday. I was too tired last night to comment but yesterday I had 66 or so baskets left at the end of the day out of 350+ hanging baskets. I had a busy day. the high tunnel and greenhouses are almost empty of everything and anything I have to sell can be found outside on the tables basket racks and porch. now I can start planting plants in the structures for harvest.

 

After getting the veggie garden sorted we began on cleaning the flower plots...and are thinking about which plants to fill the gaps with.

 

Love your garden Deep Woods...man I can't wait..once again!!!

 

Paw-paw John...love yours too!!!

 

Know what ivI' done in my garden? Nothing!!!! It won't stop raining and dirt has washed away exposing my green bean seeds(guess I should have planted them deeper). So I'm just waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to come out.

 

Squished some more squash bugs...picked some lettuce, swiss chard, spinach and kale for a salad.
Got 24 pounds of honey out of one of my hives this morning and got stung twice on the same eyelid..Uuugh!!!
