Finally got my garden in...June 11th...go figure! |
|
Between the cold nights and the bugs and my aching back, it took awhile. But I have 8 tomato plants, 8 potato plants, broch plants, cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, bush beans, basil, zuchinni and those little round Romeo carrots. I still have some room so I might look for some more stuff this weekend.
Now all I have to do is sit on my butt and weed and watch the garden grow.
I really, really love this!
And thanks everybody, for all the good advice.:hug:

1. Raven, you beat me to the finish. |
|
I planted my tomatoes, basil, asparagus (first crop of edible asparagus will be 2 years away)and potatoes a month ago. Since then, my mother died, our office is in the middle of a renovation, blah blah blah blah blah.
If I can get the corn, okra, squash, cucumbers and melons planted by this weekend I will be alright but I have never planted this late in the season.
BTW, I live in NE Oklahoma and my average last frost date is April 15. Little behind wouldn't you say?x(

You're not even behind considering where you are. Actually, you're pretty much right on schedule give or take a few days. Good planning on your part!
I'm either usually in so much of a 'spring fever' driven rush that I end up with frost bitten plants, or behind schedule and rushing to beat the summer heat. I hardly ever hit it at just the right time.
Enjoy tending those babies. For me gardening is a calming and fulfilling experience. A balm for my soul with tangible (and edible!) rewards.
