Thread: In the Garden 2016

I picked a cayenne pepper and the wife brought in some cherry tomatoes today. We have a zucchini coming and the squash plant is still blossoming. Overall, it was a disappointing year for our container garden. We plan to move it to a sunnier spot next year.

Like Glen our garden was lack luster this year. Warm early spring and then dismal summer and then a hail storm left us looking to next year. Har!!

Washington's rainy season started late this year which gave us some more sun and nice weather. Pumpkins are liking that. Har!!

We are down to Dawn's Halloween pumpkins and a raging heritage tomato plant still pumping out fruit.

Powdery mildew on the pumpkin leaves has required daily leaf culling. We had more crap attack our garden this year than ever before. My corn got trashed in hail storm and then corn leaf aphids finished the job with their black crud.

This year we figured out that the little wood chips in soil were depleting the nutrients. Addressed that a little late in the season. Going to load up with steer & chicken & mushroom junk in a month or so and let it winter over.
