gardeningI started gardening again last year after a long hiatus. This called for clearing out the old plot, felling some trees and removing scrub and whatnot, as well as reviving the dormant tiller. It’s been fun, educational, a little costly, but definitely rewarding.
I’m in Rhode Island, USA, zone 6. I’m a conventional gardener using conventional methods. Crops last year were corn, peas, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cukes, pumpkins, sunflowers, and gourds. This year I’ve dropped the corn and added beans, squash, and watermelon. Also, the garden was expanded this Spring to allow the ‘bullies’ (pumpkins and watermelons) room to grow, and to put in asparagus.

Date: 2019-07-12 09:20 am (UTC)I thought my asparagus was a fail as it took so long for all the plants to put up wispy little stalks: 10 for 10 on the crowns! Hopefully these survive the winter and I’ll have some nice spears in a year or two.
