It has
already been a month since Mother’s Day when we started planting our
garden. Hard to believe an entire month
has gone by already. A lot of changes
are happening already. Mostly that stuff
is up.
The
corn is nearly a foot high. The carrots,
beets and green onions are up and the tomatoes already have a couple blossoms
on some of the plants. The squash,
pumpkin and pepper plants are growing well too.
We
recently added more pots and planted watermelon, more lettuce, cilantro, dill
and cucumber. I planted Shasta Daisy seeds
in an old galvanized bucket I’ve had forever.
In fact, it came with the place.
We
transplanted some perennials to the backyard flowerbed last week and so far
they seem to be taking to their new home.
The cooler weather and light rain we’ve been having probably helps.
Our
pear tree is loaded with fruit this year.
If it all bears out we most likely won’t need to buy any for canning
this year. No plums on the plum
tree. I think it got hit by frost this
spring. Not a single plum.
The
apple tree is iffy. We treated it but it
has been a problem for us every summer with pests. Maybe this year we will be lucky. We might need to remove it and replace it
with a peach tree. I’d be fine with that,
I prefer peaches. I hate to cut down a
nice tree but it isn’t a producer; just a mess.
The
girls and I are pretty tickled with ourselves at this point. This is our largest garden endeavor by far
and we are hopeful and excited to see how it evolves. I just love summer!
How is
your garden growing this year?
