Re: 2023 veggie garden
Our gardens are doing awesome! But our peppers are lacking a bit. Don't know why but today I decided to install a 12 foot tall electroculture antenna to see what happens. I have read a bunch about it, seen some videos, then winged it with whatever I had off the top of my head. We shall see what happens. Its in the middle of our hot pepper garden.
Cool it let me post a small video!

Re: 2023 veggie garden
Thanks KB! At the end of last summer and early fall all of our gardens drowned so I totally get where your coming from KB. It sucked a lot. We built up our gardens quite a bit this year with coop compost and I dug channels to drain water through our yard so hopefully that won't happen again.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
SO I didn't ralise my fancy small potatoes would overwinter if you missed them. I just went and pulled a good haul of small new pots! Maybe it was just a warmer winter than usual? Here we didn't think it froze so deep.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
I am waiting for a break in rain to lift the garlic but not having much luck.
The raspberries are size of strawberries I didn't think anything could do that well around here.
I might have hard time containing them.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
Me three on the garlic! I didn't know it was going to rain today! Oh well, maybe tomorrow......
Meanwhile, my tomatoes are ripening! My next-door neighbour gave me a jar of honey from his hive the other day. How local can you get? His bees enjoy visiting our flowers :). So I gave him a big jar of my ripest cherry tomatoes for his kids. We have enough to eat from the container tomatoes on the deck, so I'll have to wait a little longer to taste the new-to-me ones that are growing in the garden.
Eggplant, sweet peppers and cukes are coming in, and the chickens are enjoying the odd cucumber :)
