i only have one garden left to finish
weeding, but i need to get everything
planted as soon as i can until i can spend
a lot of time weeding. if i do it in parts
i can mix tasks and that is better for my
body.
My vegetable planting is done. Did tomato, bell pepper, and spinach
plants last night. And zucchini seeds. My vegetable garden is small.
Four thirty two square foot beds and 4 whisky barrels for asparagus.
Last year grew a lot in containers, this year decided not to. Have
other projects to finish. Next year I'll be packing as much into the
veggie garden as I can, beds and containers alike.
There are critter feeders and bird baths about fourty feet from the
vegetable garden. Most of my weeding consists of plucking out sprouts
from the bird seed the squirrels bury in them.
This fall I'm building removable chicken wire covers for the raised
beds for use the following spring. I'm not going to win the war with
the critters, that's impossible, but I will win some battles and this
is one of them. :)
Any chance of row covers I see at gardening suppliers keeping the
critters away?
