I am playing in the
Hermine set me back a week and I set own self back the week before that, but at least I can say that the hardest part is behind me. The ground has been tilled. Manure has been shoveled and spread. Irrigation lines are in. I had a couple bad lines that gave me fits, but I can deal with what's left.
(Eggplant, Peppers and Fennel are the only plants still standing after the summer heat.
I came in to upload these photos and then grab the seed boxes and see what I want to put in.
Certainly, corn, tomatoes, broccoli, kale and a variety of beans are on my priority list. (Below: Pineappe, Rosemary and Sweet potatoes have remained.)
One thing I didn't plan on planting but is well underway is PUMPKIN!! Yes, last year's decorative pumpkins that wouldn't die were thrown into our side lot by dear hubby. Then, I noticed squash-like blooms about two weeks ago. And now.... it's just crazy goodness spilling over into the extra parking area. I may need to post a sign so people don't run over my new pumpkin patch! LOL.
I don't know if they will be the white pumpkin or red spotted pumpkin. Either way, they should be very pretty. I had no idea how prolific pumpkins were. Seems like they spread a foot every day! It looks even fuller with side shoots since I took this picture about 5 days ago!
That's all for now. I will update when I have seedlings breaking ground.
Blessings,
Robin
