Looks to me like spring time is when you take all the dead hobos and hookers that have been cluttering up the basement all winter and fed 'em to the worms, eh?

Well ya Know , compost is compost , the secret is to fill their pockets with some good nitrogen rich fertilizer

Won't actually get out into the gardens till tomorrow, (and the rest of the week)

I've got a mass of expensive root stock to go in - a good chunk o' grocery budget here!

But today wasn't a complete waste - I did get a lot of seeds into starter
(yeah I know - I'm LATE! I waffled over the cost of the plant order so long....)

In the meantime I'm playing a good game of "Guess That Plant" .... always happens when I move into a place, I'm such a neophyte gardener and there's so little I can recognize at a glance.

I'll save ya the bazillion images and just give you a link to the game if you want to play.

Guess That Plant!

My first harvest from Penny.

How are they? That's about how many blueberries I got from my blueberry bush this year.

Sundae · 07-17-2013, 12:31 PM

Still a bit firm, and not very sweet. But already edible, and I got some before the birds!
Those in the photo I will leave a few days more, see if they improve. Even if this is as good as they get I am excited to be eating my own home-grown fruit.

I expect more next year, she's still a baby.

Very nice! I have yet to get to the cherries on my trees before the birds do. I think I'll have to try nets next year.

I should get some good pictures of my parent's garden. Throughout the year they have blueberries, figs, tomatoes (heirloom and plum), asparagus, garlic, green beans, peas, peppers, rosemary, thyme, bay, spinach, lettuce, carrots, beets, fava beans, eggplant, and zucchini.

I'm probably forgetting a few.
