Spuds 2016 Garden

[SmokinKat]

Very nice!!   Those are looking lovely!   Yeah, that silver seems to work like a charm on so many things! 

I mixed up a batch of garlic, mint and cayenne spray from a recipe I found online, which said it's a good all around bug deterrent.  Only bad thing is, it smells really yummy while you're cooking it and makes me hungry!  

I'll get some pics of the garden soon-- growing some container potatoes that are doing great.  Need to take out one big cedar tree that blocks a lot of the sun to my garden area, my plants are usually pretty slow to get going!

Some peaches from the dwarf peach tree's,very cool!

[SmokinKat]

Mmmm!!!  Nothing in the world like fresh peaches!!! 

We planted some trees this year on our farm, but the $(@#*&@*^# goats broke through the fencing at ate most of them.  Have two little cherry trees that might pull through, but my peaches, apples and mulberries gave up the ghost.       Jerks!

The tomatoes so far


lots of sweet 100's coming on




Im using potting soil and mulch.water morning and night.Every few days I use water from aquaponic tanks.So far pretty good,fair production,late start.Will do again next year as economical on water use,and easy to fertilize,has real potential.

Mmmm those look great!   Love those sweet 100 plants, they just keep on giving!  My tomatoes have finally started taking off too, at long last...

Everything in my garden was slowed down due to a major bone head move on my part... I'd set up an automatic watering timer for when James and I went on our Alaska trip, so the kid house-sitting didn't have to fuss with anything.  But the dang program didn't save, so my poor garden was thirsty for a couple of weeks before I realized what was (not) going on.    Thankfully we've had really mild temperatures so far most of this summer, so nothing died, just took way longer to get up and start producing!   That'll teach me to try and be clever!
