Anyone Got a Stretcher Weekend Recap
Howdy y'all! Does everyone else remember going back to school around this time when you were a kid? These days? They've been in school for 2 weeks already!! A friend of ours has a third grader and posted the obligatory list o' facts pic their first day of school two weeks ago and I said I was so glad they didn't send us back that early and he heartily agreed! Saturday was off to a low key start but waiting for a small weight rack to replace the mondo one we had down there. They were dragging their feet so I watered the plants front and back and we went out for a little bit then drove through the old hood. We drove past my high school besties house as well as ours. This is the second time we've gone there to reminisce and within 30-60 seconds people roll up on us like they notified the po po of the new car in the court. Lord forbid I look at my childhood apartment for a few minutes so we left since it didn't feel safe. There's nothing...
Squirrels and chipmunks are cute and all but when they're stealing your food it's war!
ReplyDeleteBack when I did our gardens I had really good luck with the following in both containers and little beds: potatoes, carrots, green peppers and jalapenos, lettuce and spinach, cherry tomatoes, and green onions, and cukes (need stakes though). For herbs, it was cilantro, thyme, chives, basil and rosemary. I did try broccoli and cauliflower one year and got a nice head of each, but only one, so not sure if that was a success or not. Strawberry pots are another option. My mom did those on the deck years ago.
ReplyDeleteTomatoes & cucumbers are usually winners for us. Potatoes are easy too. Peppers will keep producing for quite a while. We like onions too.
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is the gardener in our house, he's had a lot of success with potato, carrots, beans, rutabaga, spaghetti squash, tomato, spinach and strawberries. All in containers or small beds. He had enough potato to last us until Christmas last year. And I live in Newfoundland which has a VERY short growing season!
