What have you done today in the Garden?

Today the veggies got watered.
More tatties were lifted, a handful of toms for a salad and a snack cuec.


The three sisters look ridiculous, so chaotic.


I am not sure how well this will work this year. We did it about twenty years ago. It was disappointing then too.

 

I didn't know you knew this guy.!!

 

@Sjoerd the three sisters need 100% heat and full sun. I had 5 beans a foot away from each corn and the corn 18" or so apart with squash around the edges to fill in between the plants and keep the soil covered up and it worked really well.

 

The first of the garlic crop.



Puttered some more with the squashes. I feel optimistic about them.





Figs are getting closer. I tied up some heavy branches.



I watered quite a bit. I don't know how well the drip system is working.

 

Oh sorry zigs,scale is tricky to eliminate. I see the wires… It’s a jungle out there this time of year.

We are now being assaulted by grasshoppers. Hate those noisy lil buggers. The clicking sound grasshoppers make reminds me of when we were kids putting a card from a deck of playing cards attached to the bicycle spokes with a close pin .

Daniel your garlic and squash look great . Yummmm
Have you got grasshoppers up there yet ? There are some starting to move in the pastures here.
