Sorry I’m not posting much lately. Still growing peppers in between trips to the hospital. I am at the hospital now by my wife’s side as she recovers from biopsy surgery.
Big storm in mid-Missouri last night. Arkansas, Oklahoma and nearby got hit. We got 3.5 inches of rain. Lightning knocked out phone and email. Need more ground rods.
Who knows anything about fava beans? I’m thinking a lack of pollinators is the problem.
Thanks for the ping. Love all your pics. We had quite a storm last night-oodles of rain-some lightening. Green house had a couple of leaks-Hubby will have to do some calking—it’s where the wall of the house meets the greenhouse roof. Light rain continues today. Will be getting below freezing tonight.
Really pretty weather earlier this week 50s and 60s with several sunny days—enjoyed using the snack table in the green house for lunch and afternoon snacks.
Lemon tree has a huge amount of lemons about the size of a pea. I expect many of those to drop—they usually drop off and we get about 6 lemons—it’s really more of a bush than a tree. It’s about 3 ft. wide and a little less than 2 ft. tall.
The Meyer lemon is small still in a 10 inch pot and is blooming. Rosemary is doing well — this is my second winter with it—having no success for about 5 years prior, I almost didn’t try again.
I have a bay leaf tree in a 6 inch pot—it’s growing-putting on some new leaves.
Outdoors-Garlic is doing well-up a little over 6 inches. All other beds have something green except the one next to the compost bin. That is the one that I chose to refurbish-got most of the leftover biomass from garden and bone broth makings.
I dug down more than a foot, dumped a bunch of stuff in, and then covered it back up. I checked it out this week—looking nice and rich —black gold. Should be able to grow some great stuff there in the spring.
Hubby just gave me a list of his Baker’s Creek wish list to order-45 seed packets. LOL Even if he gets them all planted, he will never have time to take care of them. Well, that’s ok says he—I’m going to store some in the refrigerator for next year.
Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Please add me to the ping list. Thanks!
