more gardening work
I am not tall enough, nor did I have the help that I needed so I make an arched “trellis” for the asparagus beans to grow on. I took a 9ft pc of fencing and arched it over four 4 ft stakes of wood. I have read that once they reach the top of their trellis, they will continue to grow over the top, so what’s the difference between that and an archway to grow on?
It’s definitely not a pretty piece of work either, but it will work for what I need it for.
I also built a large rectangular area in the garden bordered with some scrap wood. I planted 2 rows of carrots on on end and then Maddox and I spread a mix of different lettuces, mesclum mix, and spinach in the rest of it. A great salad mix!
I replanted more green beans today. Some little foot had stomped some of the plants that weren’t very tall, but still I think they were big enough to be seen. I guess I am going to have to fence around the outer edge of the garden. UGH!
Tomorrow is my break from the outside for a few hours. I am working some extra hours since I had to take off last weekend due to having no voice.I am ready to get back on the horse…
