I've been real busy lately between, the PDC design course I've been taking, volunteer work, and getting my spring/summer gardens in I haven't had the time to post it up here. So here's what I've been working on.
3-18-13 I put in this vine garden. I planted mamoth sunflowers across the front of the bed that way the vines can grow up the sunflowers and chain link fence I planted Armenian Cukes, Louffa Sponges, Pickling Cukes, and Yard long Beans, companion planted with radishes and carrots.
Finished bed minus chickens.
3-20-13 I planted my tomato starts Prudens Purple, Silver Fir Tree, Juliet Hybrid, Super Sweet 100, Glacier, and Better Boy companion planted with basil, and sunflowers.
Finished bed, I've recently heard that you should have your tomatoes in the ground by February 1st. You're supposed to plant and protect from frost for a bumper crop I'm gonna try that next year.
I thinned my apple and peach trees, I let my little Dorset Golden keep 2 of it's apples.
Thinned Florida Prince Peach full of peaches.
Sunshine Blue Berry full of berries.
My bearded iris's are starting to bloom.
The almond tree is full of almonds I'm crossing my fingers hoping these hold on over the last 3 years I've gotten 1 almond.
3-31-13 Here's the melon patch Honey Dew and Crimson Sweet companion planted with sunflowers and Lemon Balm.
4-5-13 Sweet Potato patch to get potato slips you simply start a sweet potato in a glass of water when the leaves emerge from the potato and are about 4 inches long peel them off the mother potato and place in a glass of water when the roots form up your slips are ready for planting.
Boysenberry vines are coming up along with artichokes both perennials from last year. Fruits and vegetables that return every year are great for lazy gardeners like me.
3-30-13 Bush Bean patch companion planted with fennel, rosemary, and sunflowers. See that stick in the middle back of the picture it's an Apple Banana tree I got from a banana/bamboo grower Phil Gardener.
3-30-13 Okra companion planted with marigolds.
3-30-13 Eggplant and Green Chili patch companion planted with sage, tarragon, and sun flowers.
