Although my 4 parsnip seeds that germinated have now gone into some bizarre type of “suspended animation”, everything else seems to be going “great guns”. Even some tomato seeds that I had just tossed into the herb/vegetable bed to see what they’d do, are growing fast. The whole experimental row of Sugar Baby watermelons is thriving too. If things keep up at this rate, my family will soon no longer have any reason to make fun of me for having “black thumbs”.
The blueberry bushes are getting some nice foliage, but the 3 berries on them (one on each bush) haven’t increased in size and are still as hard as BBs. That’s OK though; I’ve heard that the very first berries can do that, so I’m OK with waiting until next spring for a real harvest.
Back to the parsnkps, I’m thinking of putting a few seeds on the north side of the house. True, OK is in Zone 7 but my north side is protected from direct sun, and the difference in temperature there, vs. the other 3 sides of the house, is remarkable.
Whatever works! :)
Aha, there you are! I have read it’s best to have more than one blueberry bush, and you have “bushes” - but I think (??) that having more than one variety helps pollination? I COULD easily be wrong. I grew up on acreage that had and abundance of wild blueberries so that is what I am familiar with. Your garden sounds great. Got any zucchinis growing?
