What did you do in the garden today?

Well, the greenhouse is down. The panels are out. I just need to break down the frame.
That's depressing.

I planted the garden just before Mother's Day with all my fun new varieties I bought online. It was in the 80s when the seeds went in the ground, then temps plummeted to the 40-50s and we got a lot of rain for a week. Every heard of the seedcorn maggot? Me neither until I did some googling after digging up the seeds I planted only to find them infested with maggots. They got the beans, cucumbers, winter and summer squash. All that was safe were the carrots, dill and tomatoes. Awful things! So I did as google suggested, dusted the area to be planted with DE and put more seeds in during warmer temps. Still waiting on new seeds for a couple varieties I didn't have leftovers of but other than that the garden is done. A few tomatoes are trying to flower already but I pinched them off. I'll need to pinch off extra shoots and start regular feeding for them before long.

As for grow bags, I have 2 more to plant but filled 2 with hot peppers The other two will get either lettuce or egg plants. Then there's 3 half barrel planters that need to be filled. Lettuce for sure in one, I love my salads but good lettuce is expensive!

Why the low temps Mother Nature? Just why??

Late May/early June - this is definitely cold for our area.

This quote is from a Minnesota study. There was also a study done in Australia in the 60s that reached the same conclusion. "One would expect that the more you lowered cholesterol, the better the outcome,” Dr. Ramsden said. “But in this case the opposite association was found. The greater degree of cholesterol-lowering was associated with a higher, rather than a lower, risk of death.”

I have not shared anything about my gardens so I’ll give it a go!

It’s been one consistently wet & stormy summer (that isn't summer yet)here in central ‘Bama. The silver lining is that this one thing that all gardeners know well.

Plants HEART rainwater!

Along with my greenhouse, we decided on tomato and cucumber part in ground / part gardening soil beds. The lettuce, carrots (1st time grower here), chives, broccoli, and other goodies will be in the greenhouse.

Back to veggies loving rain…

The tomato plants got a good soaking rain today. Now they just need some sunshine!

I picked a 5 gallon bucket full of kale leaves this morning. Got 'em prepped and cooking on the stove with a bunch of chives. It's time to start getting the coming winter's veggies in the freezer.

The poor kale plants look kind of naked, but they'll grow more leaves. Tomorrow I'll do the same thing with the collard greens. Things were getting pretty tight in the brassica patch.
