Garden 2022

[my-thyme]

I have lots of little tomatoes.

Gonna thin the Swiss chard again tonight. Cook those tender thinnings up, yum, oh, yum.

I never plant melons, they take up too much room, I get mine from Sivaks Produce. But, when a 4 yr old grandson says we gotta plant some, we gotta plant some.

Was hoeing grass between them, got a little too close to one, and its struggling to hold on. Man, am I in trouble! That little boy reminds me every day that I killed his watermelon.

Good Lord.

I know I need to do some grass control but have not had much time

That's a wonderful little garden! Don't worry over a bit of grass, get it as you can.

The hibiscus has been doing terrific ever since I protected them from the deer. And a total surprise, there is a flower on one of the bananas.

My maters are getting big! And a pleasant surprise; my mint patch had disappeared a couple years ago due to dogs using it as a pee spot. Out of nowhere, new mint plants have popped up in that spot again. And, sadly, the dogs are not longer with us, so the mint will get a break.

The ex planted chocolate mint some 30 years ago. I keep mowing it down, it keeps coming back. It is a weed, after all.

It must be nice to have that stuff keep popping back up as a reminder of better times.

That sure looks like a pot plant mixed in with that Hibiscus.

I'll never forget the first time my teen boys noticed the hibiscus in my garden.

MOM!!!!

They didn't know whether to be proud or appalled.

Good haul from the auction this am. Wanted beans, but they were pricey.

Garden fizzled early this year. I'm seriously considering not raising veggies next year, I can get all I need from the auction, save myself all that work.

Every time my daughter's garden needed tilling and/or planting it was too wet. We managed to get a few things planted and put weed block down, but for the most part it's a jungle. I love to garden when I can walk out the back door and give it an hour here and there. Remote gardening is too labor intensive for me now. I think this winter we'll build some raised boxes and buy lots of bagged topsoil.
