What Did You Do In The Garden?

Have to ask, what do you do with the peppers from 92 plants?

Have to ask, what do you do with the peppers from 92 plants?

I don't know. I never grew 92 plants before. I usually start seedlings and lose a lot, but I did not have any problems with these. I have the best bunch of vegetables and flowers I ever grew and then got the chickenpox. Last year I gave a lot of plants to my neighbor and this year gave him some cabbage and collards and he let them die and told me he is not planting anything this year. I was going to share with another lady and she told me she FORGOT her tomato plants and left them out for 3 days and they died, so that did it, after taking care of all these plants while being sick, I am keeping them.

Except this year, so far.

Planted bush beans and around 250 onions.

Moved all the annual seedlings and purchased plants inside. Covered potato and tomatoes growing in the garden. Moved my hanging basket and covered the container planting. That's the best I can do to ensure there is no frost tonight -- on the theory "if there's nothing to hurt there's no reason for a frost".

Only the strawberries are left uncovered in hopes that they are hardy enough for Wisconsin weather.

Doesn't the bed look great! Hardly a weed to be seen -- those few garlic scapes at the bottom don't count -- and the Alpine strawberries in the (mostly unplanted) bed to the left are looking just as good.
Going to be a great year for strawberry shortcake if the weather doesn't take the blooms tonight.

It sounds like you are all ready for the cold. Your strawberries are amazing. I am hoping I get some to eat fresh. All this moving and transplanting has set them back. I have actually ate 4. They do not look good. The ground is going to need a lot of fertilizer and weeding for next year.

This morning DH and I reset the perimeter poles for the front garden. He wasn't happy with them because they could be wobbled a little. So he pulled them out, I knocked the concrete off them, then we made the holes a bit wider and re-cemented them in.
I weed mowed up around the front garden and under the maples, took a break in the shade, ended up prone on the lawn with a large dog trying to snuggle under my arms, and dozed off.
Lots more to do but we have a neighbor kid birthday party to attend. If it wasn't for the neighbor kids having birthdays we wouldn't have a social life!

Buried some compostables in the compost pile ... hey, that counts!

My compost pile utilizes so much soil that it is amazing how hard it is now that I have begun to work my way through it. Dirt and gravel settle well through the winter! It would probably make a better garden bed this spring, than a source of soil amendments!

I've gotta use it for hilling the spuds, tho. That's been a primary use for the compost in the little veggie garden in recent years. I'm not asking much of it. One hundred square feet of mulch ... well, a few more this year since I found those Viking Purple seed potatoes a little late and after I had already planted one bed.

Thistlebloom, you keep babysitting the neighborhood kids (ie teaching gardening) and you're apt to get invited to plenty of birthday parties. At least you have a social life.
