Garden Week Two

Week Two of my garden

Gardening is boring. And I am tired. On the left I planted two rows of tomatoes and some shallots, peppers and carrots. In the middle I have some herbs planted around the rocks and on the right I have some radishes, beets, kale, chard, peas and beans and cucumbers. Behind the garden to the left are some blueberry bushes and some mystery fruit bushes that sprout up all over the place. I will feed the mystery fruit to a friend before trying it myself.... In case it is sour. I hate sour fruit (green apples = gross).


I guess now I just wait and see what survives. Oh, and the on going battle with the ants. I found another ant hill occupied by black ants. SO MANY ANTS! Boiling them work but I have to boil water and tip toe outside carrying boiling water which is dangerous and time consuming. I sort of want to do the hill billy thing and pour gas on them and burn them. Mostly I have just been trying to relocate them onto other peoples property.

My From Scratch Garden.

Hey Elo and Janet,



This summer I ... uh.... live with my parents. There is one benefit though. I get to make a vegetable garden. There is a patch of never worker land behind my parent's house. It used to be a broken down barn. Now it is just weeds.

This first photo is of me either looking proud of stretching my back. Either way, this part is horrible. I did find some old bones and metal and half of a bottle. So, that was sort of fun.


Above is the garden at the end of day two. Almost done.


Above is day four. I planted some shrubs in front of the weed and mangled up dirt pile. And stole some flat rocks from Mooman's (mom's) garden. She wont mind...
