jdmidwest Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Picked a quart of strawberries and tossed another quote. Wet weather, slugs, and pill bugs are ruining them faster than they ripen in the perpetual darkness. Fresh salads. Sugar peas are blooming and waist high. Green beans are starting to vine. Maters are still under the cold frame covers and doing fine. I had been using them for moisture management, but the cold nites are a good reason too. Bee hives are up to 5 now, 2 bought and 3 caught swarms. BilletHead, MOPanfisher and ness 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

MOPanfisher Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well a new era has begun for me, no more tilling with. Tractor or little tiller. Two more rows and some drilling, adding bricks in botoms and filling, more weed barrier and mulch. Heck nearly done, then it's planting time, maters, zukes, cukes, canteloupes? ?

I hope and feel you will like it. In your case maybe a bit more water depending on rainfall. Maybe less also. As far as soil might supplement some miracle grow or equivalent granules down watering tube. I don't premix with water just pour down tubes. Your spot looks nice. In the thick of things I would say we get about 50% of daylight. Do miss some of the morning and late afternoon.

MOPanfisher Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I had 3 of the doubles last year, only one did I put a tube in, the rest just stuck the hose in the gap between the tubs for a bit. I fertilized pretry much the same way, I very carefully tossed some into the gap and add water. Grew more cukes than I needed. Also had 4 single tubs and they were much more of a pain to watwr etc. So this year go big or go home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilletHead Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Finally have the garden done. Crazy weather. Lettuce ready to start picking, Full bed of assorted peppers, More peppers and a bunch of tomatoes, Wildflower patch doing well. Coreopsis and Shasta daisies in full bloom and behind it the pale purple coneflower is about to burst out. Coming on strong the butterfly milkweed is still green but buds forming. ness and bfishn 2 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
