Last week, we doubled the size of the garden last weekend from teeny to small. Still not enough room for everything but it’s now at the max. that will fit around the obstacles in the yard. It looks like a drunk put up the fence what with having to zig zag around the septic. Oh, well, it’s up! Procrastenating on the tilling but that’s on the to do list today.
FYI, cattle panel prices have gone up about a third again from last year.
Thanks, J. Got the newspaper pots made and planted with tomatoes and peppers. Now, if they’ll grow!
Planted some bulbs by the front door to brighten things up. Still don’t know what to do about my berries. Mr. B wants that bed but I’d like to convince him that we can have both his flowers and my berries there together. Last year, don’t know if it was the heat or what, but both plantings of berries died immediately. I’ve had both berries and roses there so it must have been the 100+ temps.
Started a new garden spreadsheet. Hopefully, knock on wood, this one will won’t end up like the last one after the Big Computer Crash I & II of 2011.
Let Mr. B have the bed. You could compromise BIG time and he could plant edible flowers like Johnny Jump Ups, and have even more beautiful salads!
I think it was last year that my local hardware store put cattle panels on sale for around $20, and I bought what I needed and 10 extra. I've got them in the equipment shed. One thing you can count on these days is that nothing is getting cheaper. [sigh]
