I froze a couple of bages of peaches and am making peach butter in the crock pot out on the back deck since it's 95 degrees out (again). I got a kiddie pool filled it and put all the eggplant and tomatoes growing in the greenhouse . I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon in the pool. -

Corrugated cardboard is best for composting worms, They like to crawl in the crinkles to lay eggs.And it keeps the weeds down for a long time. Take off labels and tape and wet it down well before covering. Peppers need heat and prefer sandy soil. And the sand makes weeding easier and actually... -

What did you do in the garden today?
Weeds are worse than usual this summer, I thinkthe mild winter and now an extremely hot dry summer is the reason.. I mulch with manure free compost and chopped hay that we get for free from a local mushroom farm that I lay out thick over cardboard (worms love cardboard!). I do pull shallow... -

It was 106 degrees yesterday and is supposed to be hotter today. So I got up at 5 am and did some weeding and clean up in the veggie garden. Picked the last of the mid summer blueberries and lots of gooseberries too. We have a good batch of late cain berries coming in, I thinned out the branches... -

The day time temperatures here in the "temperate" North West have been in the mid 90's all week and expected to be 88-102 degrees for at least the next 2 weeks. Zero humidity and no rain expected in the foreseeable future either. I have been harvesting strawberries, blueberries, marionberries... -

I try to keep up on the weeding so I get the plants into the compost before they go to seed. -
What did you do in the garden today?
We have heavy clay soil too. I stopped tilling one area 5 years ago and bagan laying on the compost, leaves, cardboard, hay grass.

The transplants and the direct plants will be the same size in a few weeks anyway. You can start squash (cucumbers) with seeds anytime till mid June. Keep the unused seeds cool and that will be good for several years. -

I start my first batch of corm in the green house and plant it out the same day I start my first direct planted hill. -
What did you do in the garden today?
yes, but you need to dry the egg shells in the oven and crush them fine do the calcium if available to the roots. A big bag of dolomite/lime is about 7 $ and goes a long way. -
What did you do in the garden today?
When you garden in containers it is helpful to add a cup of dolomite lime to every 5 gallons of soil. I make an organic planting mix using 50% coco core and 50% compost. (2-3 gallons of each) Then mix in a few cups of vermiculite. I fill the container 1/2 then add dolomite (lime) and worm... -

transplanted herb assorted seedlings into 4" pots and peppers seedlings into 6 packs. Mostly jalapenos and tri colored bells. I did it until my arms hurt. Planted snap and snow peas out into the bed yesterday. Harvested more asparagus but think this coming week will be the last of it. Has... -

What did you do in the garden today?
Just check the ph and adjust as needed. It takes 10 pounds of wood ash to raise the ph of a 4x6 garden bed by 1/10 of a point. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Your blueberry looks like it has frost (or fertilizer) burn. Is it a new plant? Is your soil acid enough? Your seed asparagus is about right for early April. Mature asparagus will start to fern if it's not picked promptly. Seed asparagus ferns a day or two after it sprouts. The sooner it ferns... -

Harvesting a pound of asparagus every day, eating the last of the kale and chard, found a few carrots too. This morning I cut all the early flowers off the strawberries and started a new bed with the 100 best runners. Sprayed the necterines. Both trees have wilt (again). Trying seaweed spay, but... -

Those are nice, you can seal them on the inside using soy oil. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I have a busy day. I dug out the last of my strawberry starts. As part of my sustainability project I used all the money I made selling them to improve our gardens. We have a 20x50 side yard where we are starting a perennial food garden. So far got five dwarf fruit trees, two new kids of...
