Our 2024 Garden: planting and netting
Today, finally, we planted the German Butterball potatoes. Orders of perishables like this get sent out in time for planting, which means we could have planted them weeks ago. The Purple Caribe had to wait until the bed they were intended for was redone. We hadn’t quite decided where to plant the German Butterballs, but today we decided to use one of the prepared raised beds in the West yard,…

Our 2021 garden: Crespo squash, and pea beds ready!

Part of an old crab trap and the wire frame that a baby tree came in were also rigged into the pea trellising. Anything I can make useful, I don’t have to haul out as junk, and there’s a good amount I’d like to ditch before winter.
