Baymule’s 2021 Garden

[baymule]

@henless my squash is just breaking ground. I’ve never been so late planting the garden. I have a few green tomatoes. I just didn’t get much done in the garden due to all the crazy weather. The Painted Mountain corn is doing good, it’s dark green and healthy.

I love corn. I wish I had room to grow it. Well, I do have room, we have a little over 5 acres, it's just hard for me to do traditional gardening. It would take a big ass raised bed to grow corn. Then I'd have to get a ladder to harvest it! LOL I do use a ladder to get my green beans.

The Painted Mountain corn only gets about 4-5’ tall. It tassels in 40 days, it’s a northern variety. It is for cornmeal.

Do you get the seed from Baker Creek? Thats where I got most of my heirloom seeds this year.

 

[baymule]

Yes I did. I've just kept saving seed. It makes good cornbread.

I need to get back in my garden and plant more stuff. Good thing I had a booming garden last year and canned a lot of tomatoes, I sure don't have much this year! I have 2 areas of super weeds that was my mustard and turnip patches........

8 more Cornish Cross chickens to slaughter tomorrow, process on Tuesday, then no more meat chickens until next spring.

It has finally stopped raining, the sun is out and it’s hot. I have some sweet corn to plant and purple hull peas.

It was hot today! 103* heat index. I was sweatin like a dog at 7am this morning.

Cleaned out the poop tray in the coop and put out fresh sweet pdz. Checked the garden and pulled off a few yellowing tomato leaves. Picked my first tomato today! Yay! Also a couple more squash. I'll be picking green beans in the morning.

Spent a couple of hours cleaning up the onions and some of the garlic I pulled a few weeks ago. Still have some garlic to clean, but had to quit and come in for a break, it was 11 am already.

The Painted Mountain Corn is showing its first tassel. Planted May 15, only 29 days ago. Normally it is tasseled in 40 days.

It's trying to make up for lost time! LOL
