Hi all. I finally have the rest of the garden planted, almost one month late. And I am managing to keep up with the weeds. Lettuce is recovering from more than a few rabbit feasts. Broccoli probably won’t. Everything else is doing great. My last iris bloom is out there. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s news.

We’re closing in on a dozen big green peppers.
Just right to stuff and freeze for the coming winter.
Last year’s jalapeños lasted until a week ago.

I have found that plastic milk crates turned upside down over the lettuce works great at keeping vermin away.
Placing a brick on top helps, too.

The Weekly Garden Thread is my respite from the world.
It is what I look to daily for moments of peace and beauty whennI cannot actually be out wirking in or enjoying my garden.
To: Track9
I don’t know of their is an official ruling on your question.....but what did you go shooting with (not counting your farmer’s market purchases)
To: metmom
wow thanks a great idea. the hose has worked well until one night I forgot to lay it out. Crates would be easier.

I’m happy to report that I am still alive...

Have some bush bean seeds left over from last year; planted a lot of them, not many sprouted.
Wasn’t sure if they had gone bad, or I had planted/watered them poorly, so I planted a lot more, about 2” apart, in rows roughly 12” apart.
Most of them sprouted.
The directions on the envelope say the rows should be 18-30” apart, and thinned to 6” apart in each row.
This seems a bit sparse; it would leave a lot of sunlight uncaptured.
Anyone have any thoughts on a more appropriate plant spacing?

LOL! As long as you don’t use the vegetables for target practice, we’ll give you a pass. ;)

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting one in a fruit salad.
Philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie?
