Pollinators

My daughter loves a flower garden. I am trying something new for the summer. I've planted a warm season pollinator mix I bought from Green Cover Seed in the same plot where I grew a spring cover plot. To this mix I added a few sunflowers because she really like those even though there is … Continue reading Pollinators

First Harvest Of Year

Yesterday it finally happened. The first harvest of the year, the work paid off with a half a bucket of Momentum Bush Beans. I had enough for a large bowl for us to eat plus was able to share some with my neighbor. Next, I'm waiting on some tomatoes! Momentum Bush Beans Ready For Picking! … Continue reading First Harvest Of Year

Cutting Spring Cover Crop

Last month I planted these Daikon Radishes. They've started to bolt in the heat so I'm cutting them down. I'll just let the debris feed my garden plot a bit then plant something later.

Silage Tarp

Silage Tarp

I use a Silage Tarp from Hoss Tools. I've enjoyed having this tarp for the past couple of years. It helps me when preparing a plot for planting and killing the weeds before planting and helping to make the soil in my plot more ready for seeds at planting. Yes, the soil will be affected … Continue reading Silage Tarp

Plant Boosts

Plant Boosts

I've decided to give my Momentum bush green beans a few different boosts. I'm giving them a drink of Hoss Tools 20-20-20 for a quick shot then some pelletized 13-13-13 for a more long term shot of fertilizer. I don't typically give my beans much fertilizer and these plants don't necessarily look like they need … Continue reading Plant Boosts

Blooming Blackberries

Blooming Blackberries

I planted my thornless Arapaho Blackberries about three years ago and have gotten really good harvest from the vines the past two years with last year's being really good. I love the berries from these plants and seeing the blooms in the spring. If you want something like this in your yard I couldn't recommend … Continue reading Blooming Blackberries

Cultivation

Cultivation

This is my second time growing Momentum Bush Green Beans. The first time was a few falls ago. About the time they got up deer came in and really ate them back. I still picked two small buckets of beans off the two rows in time for Thanksgiving. I'm giving it a try again this … Continue reading Cultivation

Grow Boxes

Grow Boxes

I'm planting in some Grow Boxes this year. These boxes have been under my shed for a while I just haven't tried planting in them yet. These were my grandfather's. It is from him my love of the garden came from. So I feel honored to grow in these planters this year and I know … Continue reading Grow Boxes
