Hi gardening peeps! Decent 1st day at school today, but I'm sure the garden will suffer with my neglect LOL. Yesterday, I noticed that some naughty girl flew into the hoop area and tore some stuff up while I was gone for meetings and prep. I'm waiting for a slight cool down to check things...
My experiment was to put some potatoes from the store that were squishy and sprouted like crazy into grow bags with just loose straw that I collected from the senior prank where they spread hay every where in front of the school. They seem to be growing well.
I'm sitting on the porch catching up on posts. It is a good thing since Olive really wants to lay an egg in my azaleas. She's very persistent! I just keep telling the dog to shoo her sway, and she enjoys the job. Nice sprinkling rain out today.
I planted some more beans and peas a couple of...
Please ask and report back! That board trick does sound smart. I'm.so jealous of @Acre4Me and those squash blossoms. I have plenty of tomatoes, but no squash plants left!

The mystery Polish chick disappeared yesterday. Very sad. I'm thinking snake...
Our governor and legislature have banned mask mandates for school districts. I'm not worried for me and my son, but I'm concerned with the delta variant and that my daughter isn't eligible for vaccination yet. I guess I should just console myself that I don't have to enforce proper mask...
I have questions about timing for potatoes, onions, and garlic. I planted onion sets and seed potatoes when they were sold at my grocery store. I think late spring/ early summer. What timelines do you guys follow for planting them? Do you do a spring and fall planting of all of them and how...
Your clean out should be close to the house. Not the opening to the tank where you would pump the tank itself. A "lid" for the drain pipe.
Not a green trail. More like a green or even wet patch where the tank drains.
