Here and There


Keeping up, barely. I feel like I've learned a lot of positive things on what to do better for next year. Mainly... WEED. I finally give up. You win, weeds. It's just too hot for me to care. My back feels good and I'd like to keep it that way. Not worth the risk for a bunch of squash.

The areas I spent a lot of time weeding in the beginning have kept up with just a pull or two here and there. Weed aggressive in the beginning.

Since there probably wont be enough cucumber to do traditional canning, I have been making refrigerator pickles whenever I get enough.

Going to do a fall crop of peas. These are delicious.

There is no shortage of help when it comes to harvest.

Need to plant twice, or thrice the amount of beans if I want any hope of canning. We steam the beans/peas as soon as there is a handful.

Even the squash was popular.

  1. We used landscape fabric with mulch on top to keep the weeds away when we had a garden (now only garden in pots). Otherwise, it was hoe, hoe, hoe everyday to root up the weeds.
