The goal is to get the garden in this weekend. Finally supposed to straighten up, weather wise, and my plants really need to go in the ground. They are so big, my pumpkin is flowering, so I have been pinching them off when I see them.
I also have 6 clones I just bought from a friend that will take up a lot of room in the middle of the garden, and I want to build some type of canopy over them for the fall, with clear plastic, so they don't get rained on before harvest.
@ Ninurta:
I don't "compost either. When I clean the coop, if it is fall or winter, I put it right on the garden, and if it is spring or summer, I make a pile beside it, and leave it til winter. Also, is the Afghan blue poppy a flower, like actually poppy, or a strain?
I haven't tried the worm composting either, as I don't do raised beds. I do notice lots of night crawler holes in the garden when weeding, so they must like it.
Have to get the chicken wings clipped tonight!!! My six new girls will not stay out of the garden, and I noticed them flying over the little fence. They also found a small gap in the back fence to get in and out. I thought chickens were supposed to be dumb? LOL
Ab, I am curious, with the wood raised bed you put in, how much of the log is buried? And how long do you think it will last in the ground? I mean, like here, my ground is heavily clay. It can eat a painted fencepost in 5 to 7 years.
