AMKuska's 2017 Garden

[AMKuska]

he does enjoy working in the garden with me. He is so super proud because of the 5 or so boys that run wild in the neighborhood, he is the only one allowed to walk in the garden itself. He tried to bring a boy in with him, and the kid stomped on my broccoli patch. Lured him out with popsicles and told them no garden visits until i can show them how to walk with ninja feet.

now i have 4 kids dying to know how to walk in a garden without stomping on anything.

It looks good. Do you have any lawn area you could eliminate to have more gardening space? Do you garden in containers? I admit those are a pain in the butt but it's better than nothing.

My husband is very proud of his lawn, and in no way am I allowed to creep into it. ;-) I do container garden quite a bit. My beans and lettuce are in containers. The rice patty is in a kiddy pool, and the squash are in a raised planter my husband made.

I just went out to do some weeding and discovered the first flowers on my tomato plants! What an encouraging sign! Although it is a bit odd my tomatoes are already flowering yet my peas haven't started yet. Maybe I need to put dead fish under the peas too

What is it with men and lawns ? My father doesn't even allow you to walk on his. Hello dad grass is made to walk on.

Yeah, and lay on and play ball with the dogs on and work the horse on and drive my little Cub tractor on...

I guess mine is different. He's told me several times that if I want more gardening space just to get rid of the lawn in front and use that.

Of course! It wouldn't need mowing then.

But I bet his dog poops on it.

Dog is allowed to do what ever she wants. Once when I stopped by for a visit my father kept saying the dog was upset I was there. I said maybe I should leave then, he said yes that would be best !!!
