Hi y'all - I'm not an experienced gardener nor am I very thorough when it comes to meticulously keeping up with plants' needs so this garden is definitely a work in progress.
I just wanted to show off the couple of things I'm growing out back in our yard. Please, please feel free to give me any gardening tips!
The tomatoes are just starting to grow it looks like now and I sticked the biggest vines with some bamboo and zip-ties yesterday after it poured rain. Can you believe this is all from ONE plant? It feels wild to me! Is it bad that I cut off some of the smaller stems yesterday attached to the wilted leaves?
The first cluster of tomatoes! So excited to try them!! The stems and leaves smell great right now in the sun.
Just buried a bunch of potatoes spudding into the dirt here on top of decaying wood I put on the bottom. Excited!
Raspberry and Blueberry bushes slowly growing. I don't know if I put them in a good spot next to the garage because it's only got sun about 8 hours a day and then is shaded the rest of the time. Also, I had to cut so many thick, woody roots to create space for them.
I'm going to make a big bonfire in a couple of days when this material is dry enough. Cut this all down with my machete last week. I'm going to use the ash to deposit into my vermiculture worm bin.
Here's my worm bin. I put food scraps, plant stuff, fire ash, coffee grounds and wood I find in here and just let it sit on top and get broken down by all the critters in there.
Are the onions looking kinda sad to you too? What should I do? Do onions need to be staked?
