Planting Day(s)

[moonhare]

The garden is in!



Main garden- green beans, 2 bush cukes, tomatoes (12 Roma, 2 cherry, 1 beefsteak, 1 Rutgers), 8 bell peppers. Peas were planted earlier. All the Bonnie plants are in staked cages.


Side garden- 5 hills Jack O’Lantern pumpkins, 1 long, horseshoe-shaped row cukes, remainder of green beans package, and a random hill of summer squash. The cukes have a fence to (hopefully) trellis on.

Soaker hoses were laid out and buried along the rows. These are connected to an irrigation system of garden hoses with cut-offs, all leading from a water meter to measure flow.


One for fun- the garden shed.

So I'm not the only one that just plants things right next to overgrowth! XD Haha, I love it! See, I've been going over how to do what I need to do and I'm thinking about just slapping my raised beds right on top of the grass, lol.

One of my favorite gardens was when I dug holes in my field and planted pumpkins and watermelons in them: no tilling, no special care, and what a crop of both!

*sigh* Our present garden has been slowly encroached upon by the surrounding vegetation over the years. Planting raised beds on your lawn would surely work well!

And, checking the seeds last night, I found that most are beginning to push up through!
