Wow the weather has finally been gracious enough to warm up and dry up enough to get some stuff planted, although a bit late.
This week I have planted blueberry plants that replace the ones I planted a few weeks earlier. The first ones were eaten by rabbits. The new ones have chicken wire fences around them. HaHaHaaaa
I just got in from finishing my planting of beets. Carrots and onions were planted a week ago and the onions are peeking up over the surface now :) They all went in late so I am not confident that they will grow well. If the weather stays like it has been this past week, for a while, they will be fine but if we get that awful sweltering hot hot hot that we get here almost every summer, they will not do well at all.
I started some amish paste tomatoes and several kinds of herbs for planting out. They have been outside this past week getting strong and healthy even though they are still very small. Got a late start on them too.
I think the garden might be a challenge to keep up this year since it is so much larger than last year. The hardest part is keeping up with the canning when harvest begins.
I have been using my grass clippings and slices from the hay bales to smother grass on either side of the garden fence. I hope this turns out like I envision instead of being a big mess like it probably will be LOL
