Everything is looking so good! You’ll have fresh veggies soon.
Picked my first ripe tomato yesterday. Had a BLT
So far we have planted:
2 apple trees, peach tree, nectarine tree, almond tree, raspberry bush, blueberry bush, blackberry bush, red/green/yellow onions, scallions, rhubarb, spinach, all kinds of tomatoes, turnips, radishes, beets, sweet corn, red/yellow/green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, habenero peppers, tabasco peppers, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, lots of strawberries, cantalope, watermelon, squash, zuchini, pumpkin, eggplant, banana peppers, potatoes , broccoli, asparagus, cucumbers, parsley, thyme, rosemary, basil, cilantro, catnip and more. Also tons of different flowers and plants too numerous to mention (also I don't know most of their names - lol) That is mostly Mary's project.
After one variety gets going good, I plant a new crop of my favorites so we can continue to harvest as long as possible.
It is going to be a war with the rodents, insects and all the other animals, culprits and preebirts. So far we have only had aphids that I know of. We will be installing about a dozen game cameras tomorrow. I will share the camera results with you as they come in.
You need too go ahead and plant at least 5 or more blueberry bushes and mulch them really good with pine straw also build a raised bed and plant it full owed strawberries and mulch them well with pine straw too get half everbearing and half once a year they are fun to grown in a raised garden for old people like you and me
I don't know I was trying to say there are 3 different types of strawberries everbearing June bearing and day neutral they recommend June bearing for the home gardener but I like to have some everbearing too never tried day neutral .look at them in some of the seed catalogs
