  1. I till the garden one time, just before planting. I don't even till the dead stuff at the end of the growing season, we just add the brush right on top and let it all break down on its own. One the brush is burned to ash, then we till it all in. We have clayey soil below the surface but hard compacted soil right on top, so we've found it best to till just before planting.
  2. my veggie garden space acts as a brush pile in the off season, and just before i'm getting ready to plant, we burn all the brush and till it into the soil. its been working out great, my garden grows really nicely. we also redid our entire front flower garden space, all of it tilled up and then put mulch down. haven't had any issues (except the flooding, different story). i recommend tilling whenever you can!
  3. hahaha, we have four or five growing under our bird feeder too. we are letting them go, i love sunflowers!
  4. yum! i had fresh green peppers, cucumbers and what cherry tomatoes that were ready, in our salads yesterday!
  5. garden is doing great now that the heat is here. tomatoes finally coming around with lots of green ones on the plant.
  6. oh thats a good idea! i have a VFW American Legion up the road, i wonder if they take donations. i had the same issue last year with an heirloom plant. later in the season tho.
  7. that was the problem i had last year, way too much produce and not enough time/desire to eat it all. so we scaled back. i can hand things off to coworkers as needed (we all share our home grown stuff, one of my coworkers right now is bringing in strawberries like crazy, my kid is in heaven!). my cherry tomatoes just seem to be struggling. was doing a little pruning yesterday and branches were splitting at forks along the stem and falling off in my hand. blah.
  8. scaled back a tad in the garden this year. only one cucumber plant, one tomato, two peppers and then went with lettuce instead of squash and/or zukes. have already harvested a handful of cucumbers, and did a first round of harvest on the lettuce. my lunch is fresh from the garden today! peppers are doing great, tomatoes seems to be struggling tho.
  9. 2.8” with off and on snow showers most of the day yesterday. Oh well. .

  12. Thanks friend! What would I do without you. Enjoy as well! Xo
  13. Step away to make some food and come back to another LWX snow map increase. Catch mode is the best. Enjoy the warning level snow everyone .
