Good Saturday morning and Thank you Diane!
(Raining here in NE Kansas!)
Thx. U 2. Will be working in lawn and garden today.
Good Morning!
Sunny here in New England! :-)
Front section (most sun) of seedlings started in 20oz cups about 5-6 weeks ago. After planting cups were cut in half and placed over the plant to protect from the often strong winds that can break these. Later these will be replaced with larger containers which you can pour water into so it gets more directly to the plant. Mulch has been lightly placed throughout to cut down on the mud that splashes on leaves from heavy rain drops:
Side section (half the sun). Planting was done by digging a deep hole, then placing screened soil (rock are the best "crop" in NE) made from 1/2" screen and 2x4's, and then adding water, then the plant, then more screened soil and then lots of water. Rain barrels are in back, covered, though I sometimes spray a little "Pan" non-stick oil (no more then second) on top to prevent mosquitoes:
Fence my neighbor and I made using donated lumber from a demo site last year. Praise God.
Happy garden thread. My mustard greens are almost ready to start harvesting. Behaved well at the farmer’s market in anticipation.
One of my Christmas Cactuses is set to bloom again.
Too cold and rainy to put out any more herbs. I bought a bunch this week amd my windowsill looks like a nursery gone wrong.
Spent the day here near Atlanta landscaping a front yard, with camellias, abelia, yucca, Encore azaleas, gardenia, crape myrtle, and iris. A beautiful combo. We trucked in 3 scoops black mulch, 2 scoops fill dirt, and 1 scoop landscape mix. Great job. I have a good crew. They make me look good.
Woohoo! Finally planting our tomatoes!
