Now for a post for Ben

Just a couple of quick pictures of spots in SP&P.

Ben took the lemon thyme off of the cemetery hill. It spreads to much and he felt it was too big. He replaced it with woolly thyme. Same as I used in the yard of the farm house. He will put the cemetery back up when the woolly thyme grows, probably next year.

Farm house...the grass in the yard is woolly thyme.

Train Station outside of Hicksville

Bits and pieces

Look at my honeysuckle take off! This is actually the side that has the honeysuckle

Tammy had. I dug it up when I got the trellis. I have to take a picture of the other side still.

I still have sooo much to plant! Anyone care to help? And I have to mow and weed and weed eat….and it is going to rain again….grrrrr….

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!
