TOO Garden Thread


At first I thought, this is it, we will never get passed this. Get the lawyer on the phone because I'm drawing the line. Now....
is that a request for the summer shoot?

First pick of green beans for the year yesterday and Ellie approves!
 
My grandma used to make the best zucchini bread back in the day. Warm with a little butter on it and man we'd go through it fast. What I wouldn't do to have some of that again. Chocolate would be even better! Well not according to my wife or my Dr. LOL

My garden has tapped out. I'll be ripping parts out whenever it dries out, if it actually does. My squash has mildew. The cucumber beetles are taking over now that the plants are producing and I stopped using pesticides. The pumpkins got ravaged by Japanese beetles. My celery, corn, peppers, and most of my maters are yellow from too much moisture. And my beans were taken over by weeds because it was too muddy to weed (when I had time) from Mother's Day to present.

I'm going to rip most of it out, nuke with herbicide, till, add amendments, and plant a cover crop in the next few weeks. I did get to make 9 pints and 2 quarts of pickles, with more to run this weekend, and I'll get a few peppers, onions, and maters, but it'll be a less than 25% yield for my efforts. Better luck next time I guess...
