Gardens and Hot!

Oh boy has it been hot here! Our weather is so funny. Sunday was freezing cold then the last 2 days are baking hot!
Anyway I've been puttering in the garden early in the morning and late in the evening. Yesterday I got our carrots, beets, swish chard, radishes, zucchinis, pickling cucumbers, and sunflowers in. This morning I planted the gladiola bulbs. Except for the onions that pretty much takes care of the main garden. It also has the corn, pie pumpkins, beans, tomatoes and potatoes we already planted.
We still have our two other gardens to work up. We have another one in a shady area that is GREAT for cooler crops in the summer heat. I love to grow my pea's, broccoli and lettuce up there. The shade helps to keep them from bolting so fast. Dh needs to till that up one more time and make the rows. He built a row maker/furrow maker that is the exact spacing he wants for his tiller. So as soon as he does that I'll get that garden planted.
Then we have one other just behind the barn were I'm planting out field pumpkins. I'm really hoping we can get this done today!
But we have to make a quick trip to town so we'll see. |
