Had trouble posting, this is my third try. Computer doing funky stuff, and fingers hitting wrong keys.LOL
Nothing new with the garden. It's time for the 3rd planting of corn. First has tassels and silking. Second went bust. Hoping 3rd times a charm.
Been extra busy with volunteer work. Will be spending the weekend catching up with gardening, indoor chores, and some swimming and R&R.
Hope all is well with you and your gardens. Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Anyone else having trouble finding the standard galvanized-wire tomato cages?
They disappeared from my area a few weeks ago, no re-stocking.
Zukes, cukes, green and wax beans are getting ready to ka go bonkers. Corn plantings in hills are filling in gaps in corn crop. Winter squash is doing well, tomato and pepper plants looking good, eggplant plants looking feeble for some reason. Lots and lots of greens - chard, three varieties of kale. Even have a nice looking crop of parsnips coming along in a raised bed along with beets and leeks. Watered today, only the second time I needed to so far this season, and then jumped in the cement pond, now to watch the World Cup.
Well, I’m late after (another whirlwind trip to SA) We debated leaving the tomatoes (orange, not red) but I think they’ll keep till next Friday. Carrots, green beans, okra all doing fine (It’s been raining all week) I forgot to mention last week (?) that our little hanging basket strawberries did great & need a bigger container now. Who knew they were “drought tolerant” (under the patio cover)? I brought them inside. The grass is the big story. Between the dogs being absent & the rain, our backyard looks better than it ever has- parts that were approaching bare dirt by now are thick.
The sea grape is only half dead, so we mulched it a bunch.
:-/ I forgot to cut the morning glory loose from the bougainvillea.
It’s been raining in SE Houston, too. The skeeters aren’t bad, but the fleas are carrying us off.
Everyone have a great week & God Bless.
