If you build it, Plants will come

     A few weeks back I asked Ralph (Caveman) for a garden fence. The fence idea was originally to keep critters out, but evolved to keep littles out too. Gummy Bear can’t help himself in that fresh dirt!

     Since the end of March and practically all of April I was locked out of my blog in a seemingly endless password battle, I’m just going to lump April’s garden update in here with May. Be prepared for lots of pictures.

A what?!?

I think with all the brush we’ve been clearing, and all the yard clippings, the best thing to do is build a hugelkultur mound. I’ve never built one, never mind grown in one, so this will be interesting.

Garden Update March ‘21

New house, new garden

      Well, we moved and bought a house. Yay! That also means we have to start fresh with the garden. All the hard work I put into my perennial herbs, and berry patches, left behind. But it’s ok.
     ​​Things at the old house were less than ideal. Most of it was me working with what we had. I couldn’t change much. And there were years where someone would come along and unknowingly undo my hard work. One of the downsides to being a caretaker where leadership switched hands more times than you could count.
​Regardless, we learned so much from that place, those gardens. But now we have our own place. We can make all of our own decisions and not have to worry someone will come by and change it. I’m actually quite excited.

Inside:

     I don’t have much going inside. Just a few cucurbit (squash, cucumber, pumpkin) seedlings that I started just in case my other ones bit the dust. I do however, have quite a few random odds and ends leftover outside on the greenhouse shelves. I’m contemplating selling them for cheap, if anyone local is interested.

Outside:

​Well, it is June, so everything is starting to take off.
