2024 gardens

[Dotch]

Didn't get our pie made yet. I was gassed after the weekend's events. As you said roony, the rhubarb looks nice but the stalks are relatively short yet, especially on the red variety. We just haven't had enough heat consistently to really push it. Days like Friday and Saturday where the highs were in the 40's & the lows dropped into the mid-20's didn't help. We covered that and some peonies that were good sized already. Certainly not 2012. Should see an improvement with more seasonal temps & rain on the way.

      Has anyone ever seen a short handled stirrup hoe? I have two long handle hoes which get used a lot. My daughter likes to sit on the ground to inspect and do weeding. She is looking for a short handled stirrup hoe. I may have to cut some of the handle off one of ours.

they make small garden tools for things like that...   check out your garden center

what Mike said!!!!!

      I checked a couple of places. Nothing like I was looking for. I suggested cutting off a small spade and put an edge on it. It might work.

Can find stuff on Amazon like this one. Seems like it's getting tougher to find anything too exotic especially once you get away from the major municipalities these days.

      Thanks, Dotch. I didn't see that one. Nothing like that at any of the stores I went to.

[Dotch]

I've actually kinda been looking for something like that myself. I find myself crawling on my hands and knees a lot weeding the flower beds, etc. Shut up, glenn!

The 1st photographic evidence of the now world famous January radish planting, along with wild plums & the Patten pear tree in bloom...

Planted Yellow Candy and Red Candy Apple Onions and Lincoln Peas today. Supposed to rain off and on the next 4 days so I wanted them in the ground.

Got my 24' of trellis up, now just waiting for a tilling.  The trellis sure is nice but it's tedious,  while stringing the twine ol Maisy thought it was funny to grab the roll and run. 200' later and wrapped around everything one could imagine all she had was the package in her mouth, I couldn't help but laugh.

[KEN W]

What are you planting on all that trellis?

[Gunner55]

Brother put a few potatoes & onions in the ground on Tuesday.

[glenn57]

Yepper Glenn, cukes, beans and sugar snaps. This is an old Pic, but it's still the same.

[glenn57]

Radishes and onions are up.

[Bobberineyes]

Garden got tilled this afternoon,  was really surprised he didn't churn mud with the storms that rolled thru last night and all the rain lately.  Just after I raked and smoothed it all up Maisy came out with the zoomies and thought this soft dirt was heaven!!!
