Agriculture Report

Our recent alternating rainy and sunny days have had a great effect on the garden! Our vegetables are all doing great so far, and we recently added some more flowers to the yard.

We’ve got banana, bell, and jalapeno peppers all growing away, and a huge amount of tomatoes getting ready to turn red! Also, our broccoli has been popping out florets at a pretty steady page. Not pictured but also doing well, our one cucumber plant is taking over it’s box, and the onions, garlic and shallots we planted throughout are doing great as well. The veggies are very exciting to me, because I had no luck with veggies at all in Alaska. The growing season is just too short. Carrots and potatoes do well there, but I wasn’t really in a position to grow those.

We also got some flower planted – not a lot, but enough to brighten up the yard.

Hopefully the weather keeps on helping us out and keeping our garden growing!

How is your garden doing this year?

  1. I’m having a very low effort garden year. No tomatoes, no squash. Just whatever’s already growing out there.

    My oldest blueberry bush, usually gonzo, doesn’t have a lot of berries this year. The bush next to it, a replacement for one that died several years ago, is heavily laden, but not ripe yet.

    I’ve had six raspberries from the raspberry bushes; not much going on there, either.

    But the hydrangeas! Oh my, they’re coming into glory…

    1. We do have a birdbath, but I am definitely open to another one or two. I’d like one that is lower down, and I have thought about putting one on the stump. I think it’s between that and a sundial.
