Baymule’s 2020 Garden

Never heard of a pumkin box, are they kept or grown in them.

Pumpkins and watermelons are shipped in triple thick, strong cardboard boxes. There is a fruit stand in town that sells pumpkins in the fall and we get the boxes.

I felt a little silly asking that question, I would have deleted but can't see a deleting option. I really like pumkin, we can only get them for a couple of weeks in the year, the deep orange flesh are my favourite, I can't tell what they're called. Lot's to learn here

There are no silly questions. If you don’t know, you don’t know. Please feel free to ask anything you want to know. Many of us here have gardened all our lives and will be delighted to help you. Just know that there are fabulous success with an over abundance of fresh vegetables as well as epic failures. It happens to us all. LOL

Today I pulled more weeds , mostly crabgrass. That stuff is hard to pull up. I got 5 wagon loads.

DH pulled the second and last row of beets, trimmed the tops and washed them. I’ll put them up tomorrow.

Watermelon/pumpkin boxes come in handy. That is what I used for my first chick brooder. I got mine at Walmart. They thought I was nuts asking for one, LOL.

I got Painted Mountain corn tassels! Whoop!

The corn is looking beautiful! @thistlebloom this is my Tex-Ida planting. I’ll cut some tassels and mix up the pollen real good.

Haha, this year it is called running behind. We had a late frost, then summer hit. So I am puttering along, some grows beautifully, some doesn’t.

Crabgrass is growing under the weed cloth. Grrrrr......
