Gardening ..again

[Eutycus]

Have any of you seasoned gardeners ever wondered why garden plants don't grow fast (or hardy) like weeds or grass?

ALL. THE. TIME!!!

Yep. Keeps us honest I guess. Have to do some work for our grub. I suppose it's the Creators way of not spoiling us. Well, one of them.

I'm still on seed germination.

Why's some take so long..

And there life how long there good for.. I've had beans in the fridge saved for over ten years there still good..

Tomatoes seeds last a while..

Peppers not so long..

Etc..

I got that flower trench all connected..

I'm just going to leave it cut open till next year... thinking add mix a few bags of peat moss in with the soil.

Still turning the garden.. I jump in there for a few shovels once and a while.. keep turning it.. it's breakn down nice.

Dragged the 8ft step ladder to the orchard and picked 3 plastic buckets of pears off one tree.

Suddenly they were ripe

Harvested the onion bed and have them laid out on screens to dry down for storage.

Found more digging today..

I guess one more flower bed.. in front

I wanted to put a fence there. Or something.. I think I'm going to try a row of corn there.

Mamma canned up 12 qts of spaghetti sauce the other day with our tomatoes and peppers. We did use store bought mushrooms and onions though.

I think I'll skip the fall garden this year. Hard to believe in only 3 months we'll be worried about it being too cold. Besides the tomatoes really should have been in the ground already.

Ive noticed somethings been eating my cherry tomatoes. Weird thing is whatever it is is peeling the skins off?

That would be a “Southern Peeler” bird…. Your crop is doomed. Once one shows up, they bring their friends.




Naaaa. I just made that up. . That is kinda weird, tho!

I think it's going the direction of bacterial disease etc..
