More planted and more to go!


Today my back is better so I CAREFULLY played in the yard.
Salad Bed I
I took out the lettuce that was not doing much…it is getting late for it to try. I planted sweet peas there.
I will plant more of them when the peas are done.
In the spot where my first planting of radishes were, I planted Swiss Chard. The arugula was an experiment that I liked so I will try the chard this year. It is supposed to do well in hot weather also.

Salad Bed II

I planted Asian beans in the two empty squares in back by the panel.
Nasturtiums are planted in the corner, bush beans in two of the spots in the front row.
Still have to plant the marigolds.


 
I love the cattle panel trellis! I bet the beans and sweet peas growing up it will
make a great hiding place for Alex!
 
Bed I
Bush beans in where I took out the bell peppers that got frost bit..
Nasturtiums in the front right corner. Still need the marigolds lol..


Bed II
Cucumbers and pole beans in the back row waiting for Ben to put up a trellis.
He still has a couple of weeks till I can fuss…ok maybe three, depends on how fast
They grow!
Nasturtiums in the front corner with marigolds still waiting

I planted three giant sunflowers in the back of the blueberry/asparagus bed.
If they grow it will look cool! You can't see them but the blueberries are still alive!

Zucchini and butternut growing fast! I can’t wait to see if they grow up the panel!




The tomato sauce basket is doing great!














This should have been posted on Wednesday May 18th


I got a lot of planting done and it is not all done yet!

Alex and PaPa....great way to kill the grass before planting...storing some supplies in the box till ready


NaNa, get out of the way!


My zucchini and butternut buckets and trellis


Ben made me two of these cages for my tomatoes. I had borrowed one last year to see if I would like them
I planted two purple cherokees in one and a beefsteak in another. I have a bush Early Girl in a blue barrel by the house


I planted this for my daughter's apt., tomato, basil, oregano, rosemary


My dad makes these and I got one dumped at my house a couple of weeks ago! Yes, I had been fussing that Sis had one and I didn't...rofl...watch what you wish for or you'll get it! Thank you, Daddy! I planted tomato, basil, oregano, rosemary, and sweet potato vine in it.


This bed now has blueberries and asparagus in it. I figure if the blueberries don't make it the asparagus will!


Pretty calla lillies


Butterfly Bush


I also got my peppers up potted till my box is finished. I don't know what I have forgotten
but that is enough to make me exhaused!

All this while babysitting grandkids, weedeating, and then topped it off with
some time with hubby with a fire in the firepit.

Then down to earth with having to do homework rofl....

This should have been posted last week on Sunday the 15th.


Garden doing good! I have been picking radishes, lettuce, and arugula for a couple of weeks now. Not washed away yet! Will be planting tomatoes (might wait another week),squash, zucchini, beans, cucumbers, and more peppers this week. We finally got past the last frost date and weather supposed to warm up to the 70s by mid week.
