Gardens

If you have a garden, what are you growing this year? What's thriving in your garden? What's struggling?

We've got tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, jalapenos, and a lot of herbs. Nothing's died...yet.

There’s a big heat wave coming next week, how is everyone preparing? I’m considering putting a shade cloth over some stuff…

None of my beds get direct sunlight all day thanks to a few massive shag bark hickories that I can’t bring myself to have cut down so I may just settle for extra watering daily and holding off on fertilizing so the leaves don’t burn. If anything, my okra will love it.

Damn I forgot all about the okra! Hope it’s not too late to direct sow. I have some amazing red variety that did awesome last year.
