I am not a man of few words, I am a man of many words, these words are often large and used inappropriately because I haven't taken the time to understand the nuances of the meanings. Is that ironic? I really don't know because I have been told on too many occasions that I misuse the word ironic, ironic isn't it. Or is it? Anyway I put my last six tubors in the ground. Tubors are potatoes, at least the bulbous part there of. I have noticed that I am going through lots of garden soil and potting soil. I suppose that's cool, it really isn't too expensive. But still wow... I think I am on my sixth bag.
Not too ashamed about the soil though, I have planted 18 strawberry plants, 10 potatoes (7 red and 3 Yukon Gold), 19 Impatiens (1 is a Papua New Guinea), 12 Marigolds, I am germinating 5 bell peppers and 5 jalapeños, and I have chosen to feed a pound of worms to make my own fertilizer. I am going to post my pics for this update, but I haven't posted pictures of the peppers, because they are annoying me, if they want my love they can grow another set of leaves.
So lets get to it then!!!
Come on in and I will give you a tour.
The blue containers are my new tubors, all red. the Yukon Gold are in the two white and right orange bucket.
Those green things are tator plants coming up. I have recovered them once but now I will let them gather some major stem-age.
I have lost some leaves but they aren't as necessary for one of these growers. The chicken wire is for the black bird that decided to attack. He didn't get anywhere and I don't think he can pluck mid flight, but I would like to discourage him, or I will buy a pellet gun and wait for him.
But then there is the reason for it all, see it, that little red Ozark Beauty. I am hoping he becomes delicious.
And look at these guys lookin so good, moved them from the sun to let the Marigolds take that place and shabam!!! I have Impatiens.
And these little friends are less than a week old in my place, put them down in the ground on Friday, it's Tuesday. I hear rumors they will keep the bugs away, that could be exciting.
I knew i shouldn't have gone for another Impatient with all the sun but I couldn't help it. If I notice that the afternoon sun is too much for her I have a backup plan.
This is the what you see from outside now, just waiting for the Marigolds to take good root.
And now this is the view from my neighbors patio, I know that the big one would look great in the middle but, too much sun. These guys are loving the shade long time here.
Thank you for coming, come on back and see me sometime.
