End of May pics
This is my new raised bed.
- 4 of 6 cabbage survived
- 5 of 6 broccoli - Harvested and eaten
Only found 1 worm in the heads this year. That's a record for me!
- Ate the broccoli (not the worm haha) mostly raw with ranch dip.
Cooked one head with cheese sauce.
- I do have quite a few side sprouts to harvest probably tonight.
and just enough ranch dip left to finish it off.
- 1 of 6 cauliflower
- A variety of onions in between.
Beets to fill in where the plants didn't make it...
Update to the 3 sisters
Corn, pole beans, squash and melons = synergy
Silver Queen is the variety I did NOT have to replant. The others didn't germinate due to using old old old seed. The other 2 varieties are replanted.
Trixie has inspected and this passed with flying colors.
A few of the pole beans have sprouted.
I had to replant the Sugar Baby watermelons. Hale's Best cantaloupe, big watermelons, butternut squash and cushaw squash have all sprouted.
I've only found this bug in my garden so far.
(He's squished now...)
Flowers and Shrubs
Transplanted Veronica made it.
1 of 2 transplanted coreopsis (potentilla) made it.
Both groundcover roses survived the move.
A new daylily.
Other stuff
- Maters (tomatoes), taters(potatoes) and peppers all doing good.
- Had to replant a few maters that didn't survive our mini-drought.
- Taters have blossoms.
- Got a few more peppers since the bunny rabbits ate the leaves of them. But 10 of the 12 have survived and are growing again.
- My clematis vines have disappeared. I may have to get replacements...
- I got 2 rose of sharon bushes.
- Strawberries and asparagus looking good.
- Not the strawberries in the grow bag. ::rolling eyes:: Watered twice a day and they still didn't make it!
Hope you enjoyed!
Thanks for stopping by!
