How does your garden grow?

[Larro Darro]

I too use the word piddle on a regular basis. I best make sure whomever doesn't apply Tom's meaning!! That could be a bad situation!! i.e. "I am going to hang out with the grandkids and just piddle". I might get family services called on me.

Since I drink so much water while I'm in the garden, I often use both meanings of the word. But luckily {for the cars passing on the road} there are trees right behind the garden.

My SIL and me spent several hours "piddling" in the garden last night (eeeweww).

The iPhone app is not letting me upload multiple photos, so here is a pic of a new strawberry raised bed





Chandler variety

We have sugar snaps, potatoes, several varieties of lettuce, radishes carrots and onions looking pretty good.

We planted 40 tomato sets, 40 pepper sets, and a bunch of cucumber, cabbage and broccoli.

2 rows of green beans and 7 rows of Bodacious sweet corn. Oh and some squash.

I provide the land, and equipment - he is supposed to do the planting and daily tending. Somehow I ended up on the end of a hoe for a couple of hours, but it was a cool overcast evening and really quite enjoyable.

Your garden is looking good.

Your garden is looking good.

Thanks. Yours is as well.

SIL's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. I bought him this is garden cart from Northern Tools on sale for $99. 1400 pound capacity, all four sides fold down.





Super handy, was very nice for planting.

Of course I had other reasons, last year young SIL was constantly leaving my wood handled hoes laying on the ground out in the weather. GRRR. The cart gift seems to have worked

speaking of gardens, I have some urea (Nitrogen) that has hardened into chucks. Would it be ok to till into the garden, or would it be too much nitrogen for planting?
