This spring weather finally settled in, which means I gotta separate the young sprouts from the turkeys and ducks.What did you do in your garden today?
I picked a bunch of Rattlesnake green beans and Cherokee wax beans, a few tomatoes, three eggplants, some broccoli shoots, and jalapenos. Pretty happy with today's harvest!
I think I read somewhere that using a sealant, such as paint, actually inhibits a tree from healing itself appropriately.Deer did a number on my young apple trees...skinned bark off trunks, badly. Seems like many varied opinions, of whether or not to do anything can be found on the web. Some people say do nothing, the tree will heal itself. Others say try putting pool noodles around them. Some people say paint the trunks. What do you think?
Should I try this?

Deer rubbing antlers, but also someone took a few bites!
On a positive note...at least the trees aren't dead.

Do peach trees blossom before leaves or after leaves start to grow? I haven't seen blossoms on the peach tree this year. I think it's not going to fruit. It went through a rough season last year with a 3rd of the tree breaking off in a storm.
Red or black raspberries? Here we have wild blacks but at my MN. cabin they have wild reds.Ever have so much on your "to do" list, that you don't know where to start? Also, when I get busy with work, everything back home suffers. Time & money...you can be without both, or have one or the other, but Never Both in abundance at the same time!
Today...after work, IF I beat the rain (yes, More rain is coming tonight) I will get those wildflower seeds raked in & covered with straw since the relentless wind is finally on break today. Then make dinner & work on a diagram of what gets planted where. I'm not doing rows, I'm trying synergy cluster type gardening this time.
Sometime after work this week, I'm going to dig up some wild raspberry bushes, & place in 5 gal buckets temporarily, if I have to. If anyone can share some helpful planting tips for these wild raspberry plants, I'd be grateful. I really hate to see them being ripped out & discarded, but that's what some folks do...darn shame, I've loved picking & eating them for years. Well, I'm going to save some & move them to my own property. I'm considering planting along the property line across the back, where my property backs up to the field that is currently farmed. It sort of already makes a natural hedge row where it is growing now. I could make a similar hedge row. It'll get full sun there.
