Rough Gardening
This spring was cold and rainy, not the best for growing my own veggies. After hauling and spreading manure, tilling, and fertilizing, the ground teperature hovered around 50 degrees. Beans; green, lima, and horticulture, refused to germinate and were replanted. Onions dutifully shot up and were almost drowned by all the rain. The decorative corn is holding up well, but will probably need nitrogen soon. Potatoes also fell victim to the cold wet ground. Out of two 50 foot rows, five plants made it. Undeterred, I fill in the blank spots with new varieties and hope for the best. There are bright spots. if I can keep the bugs away from the squash and cucumbers, they stand a chance.
Thats a good looking cabbage
Since it is raining this morning, I took a peak at our local advertising section of the paper. 25 pound bag of potting soil for 20 dollars. 25 pounds of potatoes 10 dollars. I call to my wife in the kitchen, “Hey honey, can I borrow 20 dollars!”
