We've been busy pulling weeds :) and planting a few more things. Some of our onions were ready to harvest so we pulled them and laid them on our animal cage in our backyard at home. Here are a few pictures to share.

The weather has been much more garden-friendly this year than last. Also, I have only seen ONE grasshopper so far. Last year it was super hot and dry ... and we had hundreds of thousands of grasshoppers by this time. I am sure there are more than a few reasons why we are not having such a problem with hoppers this year; new location? hard frost in winter? better soil? or?? Whatever the case, we are thankful.
Maybe we'll have a good tomato and bean harvest this year?! We have 3 rows of navy beans and two other rows of tomatoes besides the one pictured. Lots of hubbard squash and crookneck squash ... and some other stuff ... peppers, eggplant, okra, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc. The peanuts are another experiment. We got a few to grow last year but that was all. They were tasty though!
Lovely pictures. I can see well how the Square Foot Gardening book would not be suitable for your use :)
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been a bit off as well. Hot and humid, then downright cold and damp when the humidity is removed.We had a super huge thunderstorm on Monday. This weather is not helping my few vegetable plants. My flowers on the other hand are very enjoyable this year.
How are you managing with weeds? Those 60' rows seem awfully long to be weeding on your hands and knees.
