I have SO MANY EWO. They've completely taken over a 4'x4' area of a bed and continue trying to spread to the other half of the bed. I started thinking them out this year by giving some to my mother for her new garden. I could easily take out 4 or 5 times as many.

Weeds... DW pulled a bunch today. I watered the garden after work. First pickle cucumber 🥒 is ready to pick.

Picked a bunch of peas yesterday.

I'm keeping this in mind once I have done dead ones.

Could you double Up the siding to overlap the existing board? Running overlapping boards vertically would be even better. Definitely put a board across the edge of the roof.

Peas are growing. Should be picking them any day now. Picked one today just for the heck of it. Small sweet peas inside. DD sized the opportunity to eat her first fresh pea of the year. She doesn't touch them cooked, but loves popping pods in the garden and devouring fresh peas. Cut the grass...

Not enough room to have anything bigger than a riding mower, but I'm still jealous!

Went to Menards yesterday to grab a 6 pack of tomatoes because we had some room still. DD went with. We came home with 4 6-packs of flowers, 2 6-packs of tomatoes, catawba grape bare root, concord grape bare root, 2 thornless raspberry bare roots, and two bags of chips, which came from a stop...

Question for the fruit tree lovers: Why would my two native plums both flower but not develop fruit at all? I don't even see tiny fruit falling off. Just nada, zilch, zero! I have two of them and they are close to each other so bees would easily go from flowers on one tree to the other.

Corn is sprouted. Lots of it! Potatoes are coming up to - watching them for when I need to add more straw. Watermelon vines are starting to take off, although they might slowdown a bit since are lows are dipping down to the high 40s at night this week. Need to plant more greens soon as possible.

Went camping for the weekend. Came back and the garden looks good except for a few weeds. I forgot to plant greenbeans on Friday that I started soaking on Thursday. The bowl was out of water (only filled it to cover the seeds) but the beans were still wet and plump. Some just began to sprout...

Mom's garden bed is filled with 3.5 cubic yards of garden soil. 100's of shovels and approx. 20 wheel barrows ran from the front curb all the way to the back fence where we setup the garden. We planted 6 tomatoes, 6 bell peppers (3 different varieties), about 100 onions, and 3 turnips (for the...

Mom's bed are built assembled except for the top rails that will wrap all around - hence the stack of boards in the pic. The bed is getting filled with garden soil tomorrow along with a barrier at the bottom to keep grass or weeds from growing up through the bed from the existing lawn below.

I cheated on replanting the pepper seeds... found 6 packs at Menards for $2.99 and grabbed a few. No waiting for germination again. Puts only about a week or two behind given the size of these plants being just a bit smaller than my starts were. Not my garden, but I built 13 panels that will...

Out with the family much of the day, but we managed to transplant 8 summer squash, 6 basil, and 4 dill. Getting out done little by little. Need to plant more greens (lettuce, spinach, kale and chard) and get those pepper seeds replanted.

We had great weather today. We should stay warm enough from here on it looks like. I tilled, raked out the soil and laid heavy landscape fabric. I then got some planting done, cutting through the fabric for every seed/plant I put in the ground. It was laborious, but the hopefully the thistle...

With these lows gong into the 30s in a few nights I'm not getting much into the garden. Waiting to plant green beans soon. And the starts in the garage are getting huge. Tomatoes, yellow squash and watermelon need to go outside ASAP, but the weather is going to make me wait.

Do peach trees blossom before leaves or after leaves start to grow? I haven't seen blossoms on the peach tree this year. I think it's not going to fruit. It went through a rough season last year with a 3rd of the tree breaking off in a storm.

Pulling weeds... ETA: I HATE THISTLE!!!

I know, I know... but it's been so warm lately it was tempting.
