Gardening ..again

I started digging... I don't know.

It's going OK.

I'm thinking of bringing it out to where the shovel is.

As big as you care to handle. Keeping it clear of weeds is always a pain for me.

Give the weed barrier a try buddy. You'll thank yourself for it.

My nephew came over today to mow the lawn so I told him to mow down the garden too. That "weed patch" was embarrassing? Now it needs a good tilling.

Health problems are what brought this mess about, If I can ever get "back on my feet", it won't be from lack of trying.

Suddenly they were ripe

my gardens run to acre's in size and I never eat any of the produce .......... just the things that consume the produce. planted another 3.5 acres yesterday after picking all the rocks that grew over the winter I can't find a product that kills the rocks they just keep growing

Canning more pickles and zucchini bread today. Tomatoes will be ready to start canning soon too. Salsa and venison tacos on the menu!

Went away for a couple of weeks, came back to find the tobacco completely overrun with weeds, most of the sweet potatoes dead, the whole place just a wreck. Working on whipping it back into shape…

Man that's tough. That's what happened to me last year, went on a 9 day vacation and the weeds ran wild. Couldn't recover. Im really glad I did the weed barrier this year. Can't speak highly enough of the stuff.

I've canned some yellow squash, green beans, pickles, asparagus, creamed corn and some mulberry jelly so far. And, froze some whole ear corn.

If the heat stays away a little, I might get some ripe tomatoes enuf to make some sauce for canning. Finally getting some starting to turn. Maters don't like to ripen when it's too hot.

Minnesota Midget cantaloupes are starting to ripen...

it's 10' × 18'...

I do have to fence it.. I was going to go with steel pole... Green thing Rabbit fence.. then run rope around a couple times up...

blueberry bushes half price.

Dug these.. digging holes for next year... I'm going to double the size of them I think so I can do some butterfly flowers or something around.

Going to do poles. Pole beans. Peas Maybe one morning glory.

Next year's plot. I'll finish tomorrow

Don't jump to conclusions that it wasn't that bad. I ran over it with a mower first. But it needs drying out a little more. We got a showers Fri. ,Sat. and Sun.There were weeds out there 3 1/2 feet tall.

I am almost back on my feet again from some health problems. I just hope I didn't over exert myself today and suffer a relapse. Both this year's and last year's gardens have been flops. Let's hope next year is "normal".

Your next year's patch will be epic Louis. Just keep yourself healthy buddy so you can knock it out of the park!

I think I cut most of the Concord grapes.

Was able to clear out more area behind the garden and now started diggn a trench for flower bed.
