What did you do in your garden today?

[KellyGardens]

Watered the tomatoes and peppers (and herbs and flowers) on the deck. My Basil is not happy, luckily I have backup, we loooooove Basil!

Since it was sunny for the first time in probably 10 days, I replaced the beans and peas that were chomped by some critter. Thought to myself how nice it will be to eventually know which beans are which (result of a dropped seed tray). Replaced the soybeans which were a total disaster with other beans.

Spent a few minutes admiring the soil in my raised beds. Lasagna gardening has been good to me... and the worms!!!

Not bad for a half-hour after work. And I needed to get my mind off work, so the sunshine was a blessing!

I'll measure in lbs.

My popcorn didn't do too good last year. I got too excited after not
gardening since I was 12, and planted the corn in a row so I didn't get
great pollination.

Oh well, it was still fun to watch it grow.

Watered! And not a bloody thing more! I am exhausted after working myself to death these past few weeks, from sunrise to sunset, trying to get everything planted while the weather was so hot and sunny..It is a good feeling!

Now tomorrow I will have to plant more corn..dang ground moles/squirells dug tunnels under a lot of my corn and pulled them up. .....

My guard chickens are not doing their job this year!! Gonna have to take the hose to the tunnels tomorrow!

I have *finally* finished planting. Today I picked up some eggplant sprouts and got them in the ground. Mine never germinated, so I had to actually buy some. I think tomorrow I am just going to sit back and watch the garden grow

Put up "wigwams for the runner beans. Planted Sweetcorn seeds.
Watched the rain etc, etc

Finally picked my first batch of peas and dug a few new potatoes. The potatoes were looking real nice I tried some yukon golds this year. Had peas and new potatoes with cream suace for dinner YUM. Garlic is finally putting out scapes and a few varieties might be ready to harvest this weekend.

Sprayed fruit trees, grapes and Blackberries with Spinosad and a little sulphur for I had a ceterpillar outbreak on the blackberries and a few of the fruit trees some kind of loper, and the grapes needed a little preventative fungicide as the weather here has been very humid.

Weeded, weeded and weeded again.

Picked a couple of handfuls of blueberries, the three year old bushes are starting to produce decent this year.

I planted a few more bush beans, watered everything.

I got such a late start I'm still waiting to transplant my tomatoes into the ground.
Gonna wait until they get a bit bigger before I put them in the ground. Don't want
the birds to be able to just rip them out. Darn sparrows. Looks like I'll have a bumper
crop of fall tomatoes.

Potatoes are doing ok. The ones I had in the tire died. :/
Dunno why, but a few potato plants still survived.

Potatoes in the ground are doing way better. Growing 5 inches a week!!!
I've run out of compost hilling those things!

Now I gotta look around for free mulch, fertz,and soil.

Zucchs are growing wonderfully, and the corn has finally taken to the transplant,
has greened up and are growing nicely.

My grapevine is doing terrific. Growing plenty of new vines that will turn woody.
I should take some clippings next year of my neighbors vines and have them growing by
spring. According to my "Desert Gardening" book, I would need to take those cutting
in January and have them rooted and outside by the warm season.

Just planted some black eyed peas for fun. Gonna transplant the cukes in a couple of hours.
Started even more bush beans and they've sprouted.

Started some Duke Tomatoes and they're pretty small. Hardening them off soon.

Mulched the west half of the garden ... whew! HOT HOT HOT today but the vegies should love it in the heat we have coming on. Heat index was 100, but it was probably hotter in my garden LOL

Watered the mulch in, watered the new grape vines, and watered some 'special' areas where I am trying to get the bermuda to fill in.

[springfever]

Well, I couldn't help myself and bought a few more tomato plants and got them planted along with a couple other things. Mostly I just went out and gazed at my pumpkin vines and my melon vines. Small but growing. I have a few little bitty green tomatoes and 1 little bitty green zuchinni and a couple tiny jalepeno peppers.

Finally stopped raining on Fri night.
Sat I spent 4hrs mowing, strimming and weeding my friends holiday home garden. Sunday was still dry (Hooray!) so I did the same again for another friend. (as in crazy - not angry)
Sun afternoon I started digging over my own garden ready for more veg. Not sure what to put in here. Probably more sweetcorn and peas.
I like companion Planting.
