Great set-up for the tomatoes! You definitely know how to grow ‘em!
After company left yesterday about 4pm, I got most of the house yard mowed and didn’t manage to wreck the mower in the process, either! I think I’ve been channeling my Dare Devil Inner Teenager lately. ;)
Beau pretty much finished my two additional raised beds for garlic and cutting flowers, but his Honey-Do List is growing a bit and needs to be completed before he goes fishing for a week in mid-June. ;)
We got a little rain overnight, but we need more. If things work out it looks like we’ll get some downpours by 2pm today, so I’m going to get all of my outside gardening chores packed in before noon, today. :)
I intend to build eight more of the tall cages. That will make 24 and that's enough. The teepee cages are simple and easy, but they really aren't tall enough for most varieties of tomato plants.
I used a bunch of my panels for a fencing project awhile back, so I'll have to buy some new ones soon. It's almost time to put cucumber seed in the ground, and it's a lot easier to put the fence up before putting seed in the ground.
I'm hoping to do a better job of keeping it looking good this summer than I've done the past two or three. That will mostly depend on how my back feels. If it feels good I pull weeds. When it hurts the weeds get free reign. I did make a conscious effort to leave enough space to get the ancient Craftsman tiller between rows, so I should at least be able to keep the walking paths clean.
