How Does Your Garden Grow??????

[MICHI-CAN]

We got a saturating here. More for days. Woo Hoo! Things may yet get a chance to grow. The crazy fast high temps and near drought left everything begging for shade and Nitrogen. First time my shaded plants ever outgrew the full sun twins.

Need to order a wheel barrow and delivery of compost, peat and med/fine mulch. Plants are almost ready for another layering. A bit taller still.

Here is a book for all of my outdoor gardening test. Crazy stuff put me in natural grow mode. Let it all get a good season and then start over at this point.

I donated 128 of them to community gardens. Just recycled the 60 or so I lost. And another 80+ maters. F-d up weather for the 3rd spring. I'm almost 6 weeks behind and did no cold early crops. Frost to 90F in 2 days with zero rain for a month.

Tomatoes in sips are rockin. Tomatoes in regular pots are doing well also. Bees are busy. Potatoes are growing fast did some more hilling today. Root veggies are still behind hoping they’ll catch up.

See your too hot and sunny as well. Imagine complaining about that 5 years ago. I see those marigolds. Smart gardener. I like to ring my cukes with them. Crazy year killed my heirloom annuals. A few coming up now. Will be babying them and harvesting seeds this fall. Great pest deterrent.

The tomatoes I put in gallon pots are doing pretty good. I have to mix soil and make some more beds. I'm going to try to stay away from pots this year if I can. Even with them in trays to hold water, last year's tomatoes just didn't do well in the 3 gallon pots.

The Spanish Bayonet down at the riverhouse is getting ready to bloom. It's about 12 feet tall so far.

The tropical depression bent over a couple of the tomatoes in gallon pots. I guess I'm going to plant them down at the field (at the riverhouse) this morning. Also the grasshoppers have found the cuke and squash sprouts in cups, so I'll deal with them too.

I didn't get any of the peppers or tomatoes transplanted. I had to bring the tractor from the sandhill to cut that part of the garden up again before putting them in.


I did get the cukes and squash in the ground this morning, and got back down there with the tractor in the afternoon.


Space was hard to come by. I added a row of cukes between the other two rows.


But I had to squeeze the squash into some tight spots. Now there are three ages of all the viney stuff.

This is today's picking. Cukes were a surprise when I went to the garden at the field. The tomatoes and spaghetti squash are from the raised beds at the riverhouse. The peppers are the runt saved seeds Mammoth Jalapeno at the sandhill garden. The yellow squash and baby butternut are also from the sandhill garden.

I saw the first few sprouts of the bald cypress today. Pretty stoked about these. The trees the seeds came from were from seeds I had planted 15-20 years ago.

I'm expecting a few hundred of them. I'll cup some of them. But I want to put some down at the pond. If they will get big enough, I put them straight into the ground.
