Yes, you are right on the spot,lol
Hub just doesn't like and hard roots next to the foundation of the house. So more likely, it might go.

Tired. He did me some frames and I put a cardboard box down inside, watered it really good, put organic mix and sweep spanish onions are in. May the Lord bless it. It is my very first time working up a garden,

I took a hand full of greens, stalk and all, and spread them out in the feeding through for the cattle, they devoured them. The cut tops, skins and roots from slipping the skins. I mixed into the turkey, duck and chicken feed also and fed them this evening. I used the rest of the greens and stalks to mulch in a side of green beans. So I tried to put the whole plant to good use

planting beans as much as i can get done. going ok so far. have sprouts in the first gardens i planted so that's good to see. tomatoes, onions, peppers all doing ok. strawberry first harvest is in. may not get much more. i didn't expect much from the patch this season and should turn most of it under this summer and replant, need to also get more organic material added and am daydreaming of how i might get that done...

What do you use to keep rabbits out of your strawberry patch? We are heavy in rabbits this year.

Raccoons and ground hogs can climb, so maybe a strand of hot wire?

makes no sense for our current situation. they can just walk in from another direction or get in other ways.

if/when i get the chance i'll upgrade the fence with the kind that actually works and then if they bother climbing that i can put a hot wire on it. i'll gain about 3/4 of the yard (many hundreds of square feet of fully enclosed garden spaces) by doing this and it will be much easier overall. i can use the old fencing for pole bean trellises or peas.

Folks I know (like my wife) that don't like them swear they taste like dirt. However, a local restaurant up in Amish country made a pickled beet that my wife loved so much we took some home.

I don't like "regular" beets.

I like the chiogo beets.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I like the chiogo beets.

I tried to look up chiogo beets. Google kept giving me "Chicago Bears," lol! SMH.....

I don't do beets anymore - they tried to kill me once so I leave 'em alone now. Thought I was doing good healthy stuff by having lotsa fresh beet juice - but oxalate poisoning is no fun at all.

Anyone else use Clyde's Garden Planner? It's very handy and a time saver. Spring is on one side, fall on the other. It's kind of like a slide rule, set the last frost for spring or the first frost for fall and it tells you when to sow seeds indoors and set out or direct sow
