Hi all, Garden growing great here, solved a minor rabbit problem with chicken wire cages over the broccoli and almost had enough of the 2 rolls of chicken wire to cover all the lettuce. It deters the rabbit who we think has given up, one large male and now we have a huge female groundhog. Could not get at the broccoli because the cages were nailed down with tent stakes, but the lettuce cages were not staked and that pig pulled them right out. Did not lose all our lettuce and we have been taking turns with the .22 in the late afternoon. It looks to be our best garden ever and we see a big difference using the Chicken Soup for the Soil and also their tomato fertilizer. Eating delicious lettuce and radishes so far rest is yet to come.
Mushrooms in grass on the other side of bldg. keep popping up: Roots from old trees are underground. Anyone know what kind of mushrooms these are and if edible?
As you may also know, there are great morning radio shows on Saturday and Sunday morning 640 AM. TY! ;-)
Thanks for the ping. Just got in from weeding and watering the garden. Only about half of the first Garlic bed survived. Yukon Gold potatoes still haven’t bloomed, but the russets I planted about 3 weeks later have.
The Yukon Gold has really great looking green tops—Normally they would have bloomed by now. Not sure what is going on.
Hubby went to the grocery store yesterday and I now have another 15 lbs of various meat specials to can.
Also picked up some canning jars - we still have no canning lids other than those on the jars. I’m taking the one on the jars off and putting in bags with the date. Then using the stockpile I bought a couple of years ago.
Hoping the garlic will be ready to harvest this week. I am running out of space in my beds, and I have some transplants that are begging to be in the Big Bed. Ha.
