Gardening ..again

[Eutycus]

I'll try the yellow bucket trick. I haven't planted squash yet. Could you replant?

I might could but it will be getting very hot in a month or two. Alot of gardeners have to deal with the cold weather, we have the extreme heat down here.Plus it's rough on the gardener too.

Blueberries are coming in. The wife picked a few yesterday. They are not garden veggies, but they are next to it.

Put em in your flapjacks and they'll taste even better because you grew them.

We’ve got a woodchuck who lives under our shed and keeps getting into the garden, and a rabbit, too. They only seem to come out when I don’t have time to deal with them, but I’ve had a trail camera on the garden, so we’ll see if I can pattern them. And then a couple of weeks ago, while my wife was in the garden, she got a visit.

I thought I was through planting for this season. Yesterday our Pastor spoke of the "planting of seeds". He took it literally and handed out veggie seeds. I came home with 4 large seeds,I think they are Zucchini. They are planted (containers)
and I guess we'll see what happens.

We had a thunderstorm along with some hail through here yesterday. It sounded like it was pretty severe hitting our metal roof. I just knew the tomatoes would be shredded. But everything seems alright, not much damage. Few broken limbs but that was mainly wind damage.

Luckily no hale here but from Sunday through last night I got 5 1/2” of rain here at the camp.

That is probably the same storm that swept across Texas then into Louisiana.

Yes it was.

 

[Piquant]

Yeah, it blew thru here as well. We was spared the worst of it.

 

[TDM]

At least we don’t have to worry about watering for a while.

My Wife just sent me a photo of our first yellow squash harvest. Not much, but it’s a start.

 

[Eutycus]

Thats what I got. 4 squash before the Vine Borers wiped me out. But those 4 tasted pretty good.

 

[Trigger]

I have no clue. I used to garden.

The rabbit and then one night deer. It was gone.

I need it fence in.

I have other things to do it all adds up.

Planted strawberry right in the front flower bed. There OK still there so I'll buy more.

Got a little blue berry bush. Rabbits ate it. I put a cage around what was left and it came back. So I'll get a couple and cage them right away.

It was more my daughter's garden this one.. let's just say she's ready to shoot a bunny or deer.

 

[Trigger]

that was garden on a budget.. still cost money.

We got some plants from everywhere.. tractor supply Walmart home depot. For the kids.

Then again I wait to cut the lawn and I cut half at a time. I like seeing the bunny's. Planted clover too..

Picked the first creole tomato along with some cherry tomatoes today. A happy little gardener.

Very nice! I should be able to plant tomorrow. Looking forward to the first ripe mater of the year. I always make a tomato sammich. Lots of mayo and salt and pepper. I think if I had to choose between a first pick tomato sandwich, and a ribeye, I'd take the tomato sandwich.

 

[Piquant]

Ribeyes for me. The only thing better than meat and potatoes is meat and meat.

 

[TDM]

Man I love a good ribeye, but agree with @snakebit, especially on the first few tomato sandwiches. Either Dukes or Blue Plate mayo and lots of salt and pepper. Now if you add some beacon it’s a hands down favorite. But after the first 3 or 4 I’ll take the ribeye too!

Tin roof on the kitchen porch because I always loved the sound of rain on a metal roof. The noise is 99 out of a hundred worse than any imagined damage.

Love a ribeye, but it's usually more fat than I ought to be eating. Generally eat strip steaks. Good beef doesn't want more than salt andpepper and agood hot iron sear and not too much cooking.
