Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[GardenTillers44]

I'm gonna put up a couple of tunnels: 2 for tomatoes, and 2 for my pole beans.

We need to get things out of the greenhouse, so we're wrapping the last 2 tunnels with 10 mil today. I don't trust the weather...we had 19 degrees here on May 20 a few years ago that toasted the garden. So the plastic stays on until June.

We try not to plant thick around the house because it can harbor rodents, and snakes. So around our house we mostly have shrubs planted a good distance apart.

I do have one bed in the front of the house. I'm a fan of things that get cut down in the fall, and cleaned up so nothing can winter over in them.

I'll be right over.

Too late, I already ate today's batch but there is lots more for tomorrow if it doesn't freeze tonight.

I am as well. Two new varieties for us: Jewel and Ft. Laramie. Some more blackberries and raspberries as well. I figured if I planted enough, the birds might let me have a few . My wife and I have already managed a bang-up case of poison ivy, probably from working the ground making the new beds.

Yeah, i got poison ivy too. I hear it stays in the soil for years! We have a lot of it here. Once the fences are up i am getting goats.

Thank you! That’s my kitchen garden. I am getting it ready for this years herbs and veggies. The oregano, chives and chocolate mint come back every year, but the rest I need to get started soon. I’m already behind, I may have to buy some started plants. I’ll have plenty of tomatoes from the chickens from last year. In a week or so I’ll just walk around the yard and find and move them.
