Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
I planted my raspberries along my fence so I can just run a wire to support the canes.

Mine are planted about 3 feet in along the property line in the front. I have my 3 elderberries planted on the south end of the same row. Together they are going to act as a hedge between me and the crazy neighbor to the west.

Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
Today the Kid and I got started planting a small Three Sisters garden in the front corner of the pasture. We did it no till in the middle of a thin crop of clover. We planted/are planting Ambrosia corn, Snow Cap half runner beans, Galeux D' Eysines pumpkin, Green Goblin pumpkin, Green Hubbard squash and Long Island Cheese pumpkin.
The winter before last that was the spot where the round bales were placed, so it is soft mushy soil full of decayed hay and manure. It only gets sun about 3/4 of the day, but I hope that will be enough to get a decent crop.

Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
Still haven't re-planted the Three Sisters, but I did get some more planting done. More onion sets in, some beans planted and some okra re-planted. I think between the buckets of rain and the hens the last batch of okra just gave up.
Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
Glad you were able to get some stuff replanted. Hopefully it will all start growing well for you.

Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
D2 brought over some tomatillo plants that had come up volunteer at her house. I hope that they can get established. They looked pretty wilted yesterday.
It is finally starting to warm up a bit. We had a decent sunny day yesterday.

Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
It's been warm and now it's supposed to hit 92° here today. I hope the tomatillas perk back up.

Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
Didn't do a lot of gardening today, but I did get a bit more mulch and cardboard down for a path around the raised bed. The Kid and I also got some bird netting up around it to keep chickens out.
Re: Farmfresh's Thunder Ridge Garden Journal
Every little bit helps even if it doesn't seem like you are doing much.
