Hubby cleaned out the veggie garden this afternoon. Our growing season is finished. He found one mid-sized zucchini, so I will fry that with supper tonight.
This year he learned what tomato wilt is. Our cucumber plants also were infected with something, so yield in both those items was down. Bush beans were great and for the first time he planted in two week intervals, so we had some to harvest for quite some time. Our peppers produced a lot this year.
I learned that if I plant herbs in the veggie garden, I use them less often than if I plant them in pots on the patio. :)
What did this growing season teach each of you?
“What did this growing season teach each of you?”
That’s going to be a thread of it’s own in the future, once everyone here is finally hanging it up for the season and the new seed catalogs arrive and we get ‘inspired’ all over again!
As for me, I had a good growing season, too. I learned where NOT to plant extra pole beans - I planted them on a climbing structure that, once filled with beans, was too TALL for me to even pick! Dumb. I’m only 5’ tall and after taking a nasty spill last year, no longer trust myself to use the ladder without a spotter!
But if you can’t laugh at yourself... :)
I should write a book, ‘Vertical Gardening for Shorties.’ LOL!
