so the rain has been fighting us every step of the way from getting our square foot garden planted, we have had pretty much 3 weeks of straight rain with a day here and there mixed in, so we kept on working on weeding and mulching the raspberry bushes.
at least my tanks were filled
the rhubarb was going to seed, I need to trim that
I decided to move onto weeding the back beds, the plastic did a good job of basically killing everything
so I just started ripping out the dead foliage
all weeded
the strawberries were blossoming well
I noticed we were actually having berries developing
and our cherry tree had blossomed, hopefully we actually get cherries this year
this was one of our first apple trees we planted 5 years ago, in year 4 it was decimated by 2 deer, I thought it was a goner, it’s our best producing tree, goes to show how hard it is to kill a fruit tree with over pruning
the potatoes were sprouting well
I decided to try and do something different this year with our squash, my wife picked up some cheap planters
and I set them along the fence line with the idea that I can work the squash vines along the fence foe support, we shall see how it works
I had to string up some lines on the new double stack I had set up
I decided to plant this with carrots, so i broke open the seed vault from mypatriotsupply
I just use a pen and eyeball up by layout
we shall see how they do
I had cut back the asparagus last week and it was making a strong comeback
I was able to get the pumpkin and watermelon in yesterday,
I also planted tomatoes, zucchini, peas, beans, onions, cukes, beets, radishes, corn and peppers, hopefully i can get the rest in tomorrow, peace
I never did get that damn seed head cut, need to do that as well
