Weekly Gardening Ping.

I really hate to post and run folks, but my husband and I are painting rental cabins over on Chincoteague and we’ll be leaving here shortly and so I won’t be near a computer all day.........but at least I’ll be outside all day!!!!

Several of you pinged me to some really great articles yesterday, that I haven’t gotten to pinging the list, so if you could link them to this thread I would really appreciate it!

Have a great day Gabz! Don’t work too hard!

Well, one thing about the article is that if you decide to plant vined veggies - cucumbers - squash or even cantaloupes and watermelons, you'd better have a LOT of room. I've been picking fresh cucumbers and tomatoes for the past few weeks.

He is correct about potatoes. I remember when we grew them on the farm. We used about 100 yds of a field terrace and had several rows. We could get a pickup load from about 50 lbs of seed potatoes.

We also used terraces for growing melons, cucumbers and cantaloupes. One row close to the top and let the vines grow down each side.

Thank you for the ping and I have not even begun to read the thread. I am in the STRAWBERRIES.... picked 15 gallon so far froze 5 and made 7 batches of jam and my favorite seedless strawberry jelly with lime instead of lemon. Fingers look like it toooo.

My computer time has been very very limited...
