What with the weather, the black mulch and the chicken wire it's down right gorgeous!! Ha Ha!
It ain't pretty, but it's mine!
I just put the black mulch on today. I was wandering through the hills of Maine this weekend and saw that the best gardens had this under the plants. OK, it might be too late but I gave it a try anyway. I'm having a problem keeping it in place, but maybe it will be better when I water it??
As skimpy as my tomatoes look, I did find a couple of tomatoes and quite a few flowers. My patio plants will make up for them though, they look great!
My peas are forming! I'm excited!!! I did see that a couple vines were drying up, guess it's getting too hot for them.
I'm not expecting a bumper year for the veggie garden, but it's mine, I grew it myself and I'm proud no matter what happens!
Next week I'll show you the berries I've been finding around the yard! Some I never even knew I had!!
Ready for exciting news??? I found my first white cucumber! I tasted them at a farmer's market last year and loved them. I was excited the same farmer was selling seedlings this spring. I am impressed I have cucumbers. Most of my friends lost their whole crop due to the slugs. I think the zucchini took the hit, I only have 2 sad looking plants... they do have flowers though so maybe I'll get a couple?? I think I'm the only one who has ever killed her squash!!
