I just noticed that my potatoe plants are starting to flower so that means I could be eating fresh potatoes in 21 days. Usally my potatoes are not ready untill early August so I must of done something special this year. Cheers and happy weekend!
Not in my garden but I found this left for me on my front porch just A few minutes ago. I’ll probably kill them -_-
I’m lucky to still have a garden. I planted an entire packet of corn seed in late May, but only 1 plant emerged (that should have told me something). Then last Saturday it was pelted with quarter-sized hail (extremely rare in this part of the country). The hail shredded a few bell pepper and tomato plants before I could get them covered (there’s barely any light out and I’m out running all over the yard trying to find anything to cover plants with (garbage cans, old totes ,flower pots) - in stinging hail, while lightning bolts are crashing down around me). My grapevine looked like Swiss cheese. Then it cleared off and got warm so I had to uncover everything (lest it cook), only to have torrential rain in the early evening (falling at a rate of 5.25”/hr). I lost 2 of my cucumber hills.
No, it was ordinary yellow corn seed (organic). Not my usual seed, but it was all they had due to a run on seed (this year everyone’s a farmer – the feed stores even had a run on baby chicks earlier this year).
I always garden organically.
I’ve lived here all my life and I never seen hail that size before. I’ve seen dime-sized hail here a couple of times, but never quarter-sized hail.
