Garden-Gedden

Whew! What a day!

And apologies about no post cards yesterday. It was a productive day, then I was tired, and then when I remembered, it was super late. I'm going to get on that as soon as I finish this!

The picture above is a place holder, clearly. As are the rest of them in this post. Today was the big garden planting for this season. I said I was going to give it two major growing seasons, and this is the second. A big reckoning will come around December or January, to see if the garden experiment was worth it.

My approach today was one that was a bit more labor intensive, hence the tiredness, lol.

So today was a long day, but I got a *lot* done. Still a few things to wrap up, but yeah... a good one. Pictures tomorrow - promise! I was just so tired and dirty I couldn't really get my camera out, lol.

First up - Tomatoes...

Got all the dead ones gone, the new ones planted. They look good so far. The three of the older plants still alive in the garden are still there. Hopefully they'll all grow and give some tomatoes!

Second - Chives and Spinach

A couple of small pots of chives, as well as a window box of spinach. I've tried both before but they never took off. Keep your fingers crossed! I'm going to see about paying more attention to them.

Third - Peppers

If you recall, I bought another pepper plant. It's settled in its own large plant. I have some seeds, but since I ran out of dirt, they didn't get planted yet, lol.

Fourth - Basil

Took a bunch of small plants that were growing in a big pot. Planted 6 of them in their own pots, and the rest that are old and woody anyway will be harvested and frozen. (That part still needs to be done, lol.)

Fifth - Green Beans

I planted three big tubs of them so far. When I get more dirt, I have a couple more tubs I'm going to plant. I think some of the problem before was just that there were not enough plants. 

Sixth - Pumpkin!

Yep, I did it. One tub has a "hill" of seeds. We'll see how it goes.







So you see why I am so tired right now, lol. Gonna hit the postcard post and that might be it for me for the night.

:)
