Warned you it was boring! This is what my parents told us to do when we said the magic words:
If my new seeds wash out again, you will find me face down in the garden throwing a full on tizzy.
Well if it washes out again, I say me, you, homemade wine, and a big a$$ pity party. Not much else left to do this year.
ReplyDeleteJane, DEAL! We can even travel the countryside and do some looting. Just kidding...
ReplyDeleteWe just had a hard and heavy rain with hail after 6 weeks of practically zip. No rain was forecast so I watered too!
ReplyDeleteI agree these kinds of posts are important. My blog is as much for my own record keeping as it is for sharing.
That said, I love your variety! I'm not so brave because I'm trying to learn how to save seeds and I'm not that good at it yet.
Boring you say? Hardly. Before your post I had no idea just how much produce you're actually producing. Wow! How much land are you working anyway? I'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I never heard how your strawberry wine endeavor panned out. Any progress in that area?
Isn't it just amazing how many different vegetables varieties there are out there! I plant several ones that you have but there are a lot there I've never even heard of. Really smart idea to write it down. My mind sure never holds any of that stuff any more!
ReplyDeleteHope the weather remains mild rather than wild for you.
Leigh, well my seed saving sorta went down the clink this year since I lost almost all of my starters. :( So I am with ya on that one! I decided to venture out more this year to see if other varietes grew better in our soil and climate. Goal of course being to narrow the playing field back down.
ReplyDeleteJody, I am going strawberry picking on Friday and I can't wait!!!
We have 2 acres and I would dig it all up if I could :o} Our main garden measures roughly 75*38 or close there about. We added a large section for corn and I didn't measure that one yet. I pretty well "snugged" things up this year since we have an ongoing disagreement and I don't think we need 3-4 feet between rows! So this year we are trying it my way. Lots more room so far.
MamaPea, holds any of what? What were we talking about? Yup, you and me both. :0) If what they say is about to hit does, then we are in for a wild night! How was your weather today? Hot???
WHAT!!!!! No green onions?
ReplyDeletethis makes my eyes water, get it?
Love ya anyway!
Pops, well I did plant green onions actually. But they were a casualty of the flood :( Maybe in the Fall I will plant some more.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, wow. I had no idea how much you grew! I'll have to measure my garden to sort of get a feel for how big yours is. Sounds pretty big. Thanks for sharing!! Hey, I cracked up at, "you will find me face down in the garden throwing a full on tizzy."
ReplyDelete~~Lori
Oh I wish I was a rabbit in your garden---no please don't shoot- I'm only here for a little nibble and I didn't bring the family----beautiful set up APG,HOPE THE WEATHER CO-OPERATES
ReplyDeleteLori, I thought the storms would skirt us as of last night. However I awoke several times to high winds, lightening and heavy rain. Coffee first, damage assessment to follow. And yes, sometimes a tizzy is just the thing to make you feel better. Works for 2 year olds too. :)
ReplyDeleteJudy, if you can get past the dogs, chickens, two fences and one that may or may not be charged (just sayin) then you don't need to worry about shotguns. You deserve a nibble at that point! HA!
That is quite a line up! You will have your work cut out for you - if Mother Nature leaves you, me, Jane and everyone else alone for a while. Criminy! I will be looking forward to more "boring" posts from you - far from it!
ReplyDeleteWhat you might find boring I find exciting! I saw the title of your post last night and had to wait til this morning to read since I new it would be a plant list and I wanted the time to ogle it!
ReplyDeleteOther than the herbs, we only share a few of the same things, you will love the Craig's Grande Jalapenos, very productive! I'm growing the Red Pontiac too since they do well for farmers here, but I can't compare since mine are in containers, you will get oodles more than I.
Can't wait to see it all, and look forward to your report on the OrangeGlo!
Isn't it amazing that summer is technically still 2 weeks away? My birthday is the first day of summer so I am wishing for it to feel like Spring instead!
Susan, Mother Nature is certainly NOT leaving me alone today. Stay tuned, it gets ugly.
ReplyDeleteErin, I have always had great luck with the Pontiac Reds here too. I was hoping that was the type Jalapeno you had. Maybe I can expect a bumper crop like yours last year. I chose the Orangeglo based on the reviews and I am super excited to see and taste them. Fingers crossed!
