Not sure why this one is sideways. Spent a few hours weeding. Things are coming back now that the pesky wabbit has been dealt with. Gave me some pride seeing what was eaten coming back so well. Juvenile rabbit could fit right thru the fencing and was feasting himself. 50 pea plants and 8 pole beans decimated.
Full veg garden setup this year. Something like 19x16. Right half peppers- purple, yellow and jalapeño. Romaine, red leaf, Egyptian onion from
@mousegunguy. The rabbits ate all my India peas tho rich! Bastards. Also have pole beans on that side and a mountain girl tomato plant. Only one tomato this year I never use them all and family grows a lot too. Left side is for runners. Cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash and butternut squash. Already harvested some of both lettuce and some purple bell peppers. Replanted 45 sugar snap and another variety of pea today. Should be in well before first frost in September. Thinking doing some carrots in Containers tomorrow as well…have the seeds so why not.
Getting first zucchini tomorrow, were nice size today but perfect tomorrow, not too big. Should have yellow crookneck by Sunday/ Monday and first cucumbers mid next week.
Where I’ve been working on my wild blackberries. Poison oak and a really annoying invasive vine have taken over the area pretty bad. The poison oak was…itchy.
Stray cucumber seed i had in my pocket and threw there while mowing. He is a survivor so I gave him an upside down tomato trellis thing to climb as it was unused this season. Just moved a hanging flower plant near him to attract in some more pollinators. Not much doin over that area after the rhododendron finish blooming.
Look closely you can see I should get a decent amount of berries. I’ll cut the cane out carefully I think and harvest them that way to avoid the poison oak. Gonna fight like hell next year to stop it from coming in early in the spring.
A few other juvenile berry bushes I’ve been trying to get producing.
Concord grape plant in front of the trellis. Also a watermelon in there as well. Closeup below. Juvenile berry patch above just to left outside this fence.
This watermelon had some nice looking flowers and eventually ping pong sized watermelons. Only to be eaten by something. So recently up went this fence.
I started late this year most planting done last week may to June second. Usually I’m earlier but was on vacation at that early time. But knowing how long things need and your frost dates helps a lot. I’m zone 6b I believe.
Happy growing all!
