Memorial Day Weekend

Filed Under Garden Desk, Vegetable Garden | Leave a Comment

Weather:

Over cast with the temperatures in the 60-70’s.  Rained some.  Monday was very windy.

Plantings:

Planted two tomato plants: Big Beef (73 days) and Sweet 100 Cherry (65 days).

Still have cucumbers and zucchini to plant will probably do that next weekend or during the week.   

Activities:

Richard helped me re-brace the strawberry box. Put new netting over the strawberries to keep the birds out.  Weeded, cleaned up the tires from last years potato crop.  No potatoes this year haven’t had much luck with them.

Cleaned up my garden area in the workshop, if that is possible.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

I was going to seed grass this weekend along the borders of the garden but by the time I got around to it, it was Monday and it was too windy.

Still need to work around the barn.  Have not finished cleaning the coop or painting the tact room.  I found some paint in the food storage locker that I am going to use.

I will have a lot of garlic coming in the next couple of months.
