Oh bought more mesh. (2) 10 x33x ft lengths for 26. 00 in all. Will use that to cover seed beds until they germinate from now on. Then switch them to strawberries, and blk.berries.
I reseeded 4 rows of corn last night, have another 4 to do today. Then covered it all with the new mesh. Dusted all brassica for worms and slugs. The eggplant for flea beetles and ants with DE. Looks like out of all the sqush seed planted, 2 zucchini msde it. All seed starts are prepared. I did my first freezer harvest of the Ocha and Iwill have collards ,kale and broccoli in the next week..
Man watering WHAT A CHORE!!!!! I put down 15 gals. actually gallon jugs and no where near finished. I'm using fertilizer in each. Retilled the pumpkin area raked and de-rocked. Then reinstalled a tomato fence planting more tomatoes. Up to 106 in the ground now. Most of the experimental ones. Mostly plum/ sauce tomatoes are developing. They may be a bit less disease resistant. Hey with as many as I have so be it, I'll still get a great harvest. Well for all the seed I have planted, 3 winter and 3 zucchini up. Many more starts planted. Need more beans, carrots chard ect..we'll see.. Not bad concidering granddog sitting and sick as a dog! Broken glass throat, crackling ears sneezing, coughing, headache.
Gotta get out there early today , it's going to be a scorcher and I'm still watering. 50 gals and still a 1/3 to go..
No need to water here have to pick the days to give the tomatoes fertilizer between rainy days, luckily we have been getting moderate rain no hail or downed trees.
Geezz where's my brain? Heat index 105° and I decide to go load up 6 logs into Gator by hand and set them in place in garden. Eight 6" diameter logs three 8ft. , two 6'10" and one 7'. One raised bed finished and another started Picked first head of broccoli and wild raspberry. Made strawberry/rhubarb sauce for icecream. Will be cutting scapes tomorrow. Watermelon seed has sprouted as well as second cuke planting. Looks like cluster slicers are developing on some experimental tomatoes . Then a strange looking oblong pointy tomato. Some sort of plum? Think I figured out how to beat the seed stealers...I gave my nasty smelling oregano a hair cut and covered my seed rows. Beat their noses
I finally introducing new hens to their mom and Dads. Will do this for a couple of weeks before letting them in the coupe they are 11 wks old now. That's about 7 wks. From laying..
88 feels like 104. Yes, yesit certainly does. When I finally finished weeding the melon patch I looked like I'd taken a fulled clothed dip inthe neighbors pond.. enough of that for the day! Hhmmmm.... Im now relaxing a bit over garden issues...save finding the robins trying to nip off my corn...so much for the line and tin pans strung over it..
