HI! Was just wondering, how are everyone's gardens doing now?
My cukes are done. We had enough to eat, share, and make 11.5 qts of pickles from one row. I can live with that! I yanked up the vines, threw down more mulch and replanted the space with bush beans and sunflowers this past Saturday. Tomatoes are coming along fine, if I can just keep the dog from picking them!
He thinks those are tennis ball bushes or something!
We're eating some yellow squash now. Watermelons are coming along. Have lost some due to rotting. Not sure what to do about that. Finally had a pumpkin stay on the vine long enough to get fertilized. Yeah! Hope it makes it to maturity! Eggplants and peppers are coming along. First planting of bush beans are blooming now.
Herbs are good. I need to start cutting and drying them. The flowers are flowers! The rosebush I bought from David Austin Roses has a bud on it! I hope it grows like I want it to.
Good news too! The giant overgrown muscadine grape vine we cut down to make room for the chicken coop has sprouted back from it's stump and is growing like mad. We put posts with wire now to train it on, so it will be more manageable.
I think that's it!
OK People, let's here some garden updates!
