Update: My garden September 5, 2020

I have three sets of peas that are growing well. As you can see I have grown lazy since thus last rain and have not weeded my garden, although I plan to very soon. I just don’t know when I will.

My pumkins seem to be doing well on both sides. Each day that passes I see them getting a little taller. It is great to watch the progression.

Look at them grow, I am impressed by how well they are fighting back the grass. I am hoping to have this are cleaned up a bit pretty soon.

The thing I am most proud of is the amount of corn that is growing. Some are doing better than others, and you can still see there are a bunch that just seemed to have shoved together. Again, I did not think that this many corn would root but look at them grow. Amazing specimens of wonder reaching for the sun.

Unknowing that they are simply a means to an end and I plan on ripping their children away and devouring them. Forgive me, I’m in a mood. I look forward to eating some corn and taking more beautiful pictures of it.

Everything seems to have taken off but my Brussel sprouts. I am mildly disappointed. The reason is we don’t really like or eat Brussel sprouts but then again I did want to be able to say that I grow them.

My squash, zucchini and cucumber seem to be doing super well over here too. I think that this soil over here is better than on our other plots.

I am excited about my garden and can’t wait to post more updates in order to keep myself motivated. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Garden Update 2020: August 30

This will most likely be the final update for this month. I like to see the progress in my plants. If you are a gardener yourself you know what I mean.

We have beans and they just don’t seem to be growing as much. I’ll have to go back and look at my older post. Maybe I need to weed around them better. I thought there would be more leaves and such since I made the dogs leave them alone.

Pumpkins are coming in. Not going to lie, I expected more of an explosion of growth. That is because they just grew up over night. There was nothing and then there were a lot of pumpkins. I dunno, I’m mildly disappointed but at least they didn’t die. Sounds to me like I am still winning.

This is the other side. It dries out a lot faster and so it has a harder time. I feel kind of bad for it. We are seriously debating on putting some fertilizer on some of this just to ensure growth.

We have either squash or something. Whatever it is on this row it is growing nicely. I am happy with this development. I hope it continues to grow like this.

My corn in coming in nicely. Wish it was taller, but for some reason I just expected it to grow like a mutant corn stalk. My imagination truly leads to disappointment when I finally get plants to live. It is almost like I think I will become a plant goddess over night and my plants will grow like I am Poison Ivy.

This is almost everything. You see my three rows of corn, my broccoli and a lot of we’ll see when it gives me vegetables. I will be excited regardless.

Also….

It turns out I do have three tiny pea plants that are struggling to survive. Let’s see what happens in the next episode of: hope it doesn’t die.

Garden update: August 20

My corn has been growing like crazy. It is still a struggle to keep my dogs away from my beans, but they aren’t really messing with my corn.

We are working on getting a pen made for them since they can’t just leave my plants alone. Regardless, updates on my fall garden ahead. There have been mistakes made and a few challenges but everything didn’t die and I see that as a win.

Pumpkins because all of my peas died

That is right, the picture above has only pumpkins becayse every single pea died. No peas this year for our families fall garden. I am angry for two reasons A) I want plants to live because I will it to happen B) peas are my absolute favorite vegetable and I was really looking forward to eating them this season. You win some. You lose some.

Corn around one week ago

Now I threw out decoy seeds for me corn and it seems to be doing fantastic. 🙃 I am truly pleased with the turn of events that led to that picture. I was so excited I texted a picture to my friends and my husband. “Look at my corn.” I felt good about it until is saw my other stuff.

Corn the next day

I keep getting so excited. Especially when they have little baby corn growth spurts. Not to be weird but I can’t wait to eat you.

The whole garden

Some stuff has come up. I just only know how to recognize corn as a baby. I am ninety percent sure that on the outer right column that is going to be my squash and zucchini, which was probably not the best idea, but it happened that way. Then there are Brussel sprouts up front and some broccoli in back.

This was yesterday (August 19th)

The corn have exploded. I am so excited. My dogs like to walk through them because they have short legs and it itches them. I am always yelling at my dogs. I am sure at this point my neighbors think I am a psychopath. I am greatly considering putting them in an enclosure is sad. Evee and Gillis listen when there aren’t other dogs around to encourage them and my kids don’t let them out without supervision.

Pumpkins to the right are doing great

They are growing, but i am sure they get a little bit of stress where they are. I am just excited that something is growing.

Up close of my corn

Ignoring all of the bad (too many too close together), that is a lot of corn. I am really surprised that one small bit grew so much. So when you cut out the other corns it looks like I am successful. I am kind of successful but I look forward to doing better next year

Did not name anything, so this is Fred and his cousins

I should have marked the garden but when I tried cutsy popsicle sticks (like a facebook group suggested) my dogs thought they were toys specifically placed out for them to play with.

My semi successful garden August 20, 2020

I will look back at this 10 years from now and cackle like a witch. It’ll be good to see how far I have come.
