This is really a terrible picture of the cages. But we made 30! |
And it didn't take us very long at all which I was kinda surprised about.
We then pulled some weeds and found baby veggies on our plants!! We spotted tomatoes and peppers!
Not sure what kind of pepper this is |
A few days later I found some sweet little peas and more peppers.
Onion topper |
I am going to have to replant a few things like the squash, okra and some beans because they didn't come up. Bonnie, a lady at my church that is my go-to for all kinds of questions about gardening and farming, said that it probably got cold after I planted and they rotted under ground, so I guess I'm going to replant.
I am also going to give them a little fertilizer and see if that won't help them grow a little bigger. I also messed up and didn't get straw soon enough, so we are fighting weeds. That and the composted manure I bought had weed seeds all in it and they are terrible! So I plan on getting some straw hopefully today or tomorrow so I don't have to spend all my time weeding in the heat!!
Also finally made the tee-pee's for the kids gardens. Some of the seeds I planted for them didn't come up either, but the pumpkins which are to climb the tee-pees are taking off!!!
Made out of free bamboo I got! |
Pumpkin plant on left and morning glory on center right. These will climb up tee-pee! |
I went to Lowe's to get some rope (and a few other things) to go around the tee-pees for them to climb, but of course that is the one thing I forgot. Next time...
