Things to do this weekend: 2 days ago

Tie up or cut squash/zucchini leaves, away from other vegetables

Figure out how to deal with ant problem, and do something about it!

Figure out how to deal with other bugs, and do something about it

See that the flower bed is completely dug out

Thin the vegetables grown from seed



Mini-goal for the garden today 3 days ago

Research more garden needs for 30 minutes

Edit: 15 minutes research

I think we’ll have to cut back some of the leaves of the zucchini and squash, or tie some of the leaves onto posts, because they’re smothering the green peppers and starting to grow over the cabbage and eggplant.

Untitled 5 days ago

Inspired by matt2point0 I bought a small pot of cherry tomato. It it growing nicely, but I am slightly concerned about the “harvest”;-)))), as it’s been raining soooo much recently, and tomatoes need a lot of sunshine. But, but, but, the summer’s just begun so there is a hope. With little red tomatoes or not, another green plant in my garden looks cool.

The rain though was a blessing for the herbs, they are growing like crazy. I cut them regularly and add to salads, but they grow fresh and grow and that is so GREAT.

Love the purple fountain grass 1 week ago

It is so ornamental… I would like to have some white flowers to contrast against it along the border… sometime in the future.

Nearly Done 1 week ago

Like the title, I am. I just need to grow some more fruit and I am done. I have about 10 vegetables, 15 herbs, and 4 fruits. I want to have at least 10 or more of each. Just need to get some more fruit seeds. This is very fun but very challenging because my garden is in the back and my dog is back there. Any way hope I am done by the end of the month.
