Garden 2024

And chives...lots of chives.

I had an onion grass (garlic) sprout in the garden, so I let it be. It's 3 foot tall. Looking forward to seeing what the root base look like. Stalks work in place of chives, slightly different flavor.

For your consideration ...

My personal gardening is limited to an herb garden.

Lots and lots of people are now growing their own herb garden. Of course Maryland law only allows one to grow only two plants per person.

We just got our beans, cukes, peppers, and tomatoes in this weekend. Gonna do peas in the fall this year since life got in the way and it's too late to start them now. I have broccoli in pots that seem to be growing well. Never done them in pots before. Got some replacement herbs for the ones that don't winter well, and am trying mushroom plant, new one ( to me) this year.

Our potted broccoli is doing just as well as the raised bed. Really happy with the taters too.

From a few weeks ago when the lilac was blooming.

My first tater harvest. Just one plant of early reds. I'm tickled with the amount since it was the smallest one.
Also noticed some pickers in the raspberry patch.

Baby rabbits ate my tomatoes.

We were late getting stuff planted so no tomatoes ready, but we have some green ones. I have gotten some blueberries and see that the blackberries and raspberries have a few ready. Getting cukes, already made one batch of relish, beans ready in the next week or so.

They'll eat more than your tomatoes!

Have one that was topped early on (guessing by deer) but it recovered really well. Early blight has affected three more. Only the husky cherries outside of the fenced garden seem to be affected by it. Over planted this year so not too concerned.
Snapped this varmint just a little while ago. Lots of them this year.

Squash,Sqaush and more Squash dam things wont stop growing!Beets are awesome when I soak them in vinegar/water and add 6 boiled eggs to pickle Cukes are coming along and it appears I will be giving Tomatoes away in a month or so I planted 10 plants I always over plant them but they are my favorite fruit

 

[wharf rat]

Dug some taters today.
Had a little rot with the earth grown (just two) but overall, much nicer than the bucket.
That said, would definitely use containers again.
Hope to get another planting in for the fall.

Both.

Both.

Gotcha. Haven't had much luck with buckets, even with large drain holes in the bottom.

Veggies in a bucket need a lot of water everyday

This is the time of the year in my garden I dislike as the crabgrass is starting to take over I pull as much as possible and rototill but as the plants expand the tiller is hard to move around.
