Thanks for the thread RD. Nice looking raised bed you have there. The only tomatoes that really produced anything last year for me also had shade.
May was unusually dry this year, so it looks like we are in for another long hot and dry summer. My tomatoes are doing well. Rest of the garden is doing well. I still have a final planting to do, but may cut that in half due to water concerns.
I only have about 30 gallons of water left in my rain barrels. Usually I have 3 or 4 - 30 gallon containers full going into July. So unless it rains, I will have to haul water if I plant all the beds.
May just throw out some clover seeds to use for soil improvement and forget some of the beds. We will get about 5 gallons a day sometimes 10 gallons from the air conditioner, when we turn it on.
This is the time I really miss lettuce. It has been so nice to just go out and collect enough for a salad each day, but the last lettuce was pulled a couple of weeks back after collecting seeds, which I will plant in the fall.
I have harvested all my garlic, and plan to plant more this fall. We have green onions out the wazoo, but we don’t use that many, so we are discussing whether to try and dehydrate them or not. We still have a lot of dehydrated green onion powder left over from last year.
Have a great weekend everyone. God Bless.
“I have harvested all my garlic, and plan to plant more this fall.”
Most of my garlic from last Fall’s planting simply disappeared. Maybe as I dig up the ground I’ll find more cloves.
There are some really promising garlic to be harvested. But, don’t think I’ll be growing it again.
Really odd are two side by side tomotilla plants in 15 gallon pots. One drops lots of fruit.
The other produces nothing.
