We now have a cat. Not by choice. No more rabbit issues.

you leave that bunny alone

I let him go but shooed him and 2 others out the garden. They’re lucky they are so adorable.

With the recent rain, it looks like the ants made their way into the garden and have set up shop on a few of my rows. What’s the best remedy to get rid of them? Hesitant to use regular granular ant poison.

They probably ran off to go make more bunnies.

Diatomaceous earth is what I use. There might be something better but I’ve been happy with it. I might be killing beneficial insects though.

How are your onions looking?
They’re bulbing up. Have a larger than normal % that are blooming though.
We didn’t have much rain from the front that blew through so it gave me a chance to weed the tomatoes, the potatoes, and pull the spinach. We picked another gallon of strawberries today. I’ll take some more pics tomorrow.

I’m putting everything in the dirt today.

I was going to put out my mini cucs, but this stretch of 40s has me worried.

Yep. I was going to plant the rest of my peas/beans but between 2" of rain and upper 30's a few nights next week chose to hold off another week or so.
Many of my tomato seedlings caught some sort of blight or something and are dying off. Thankfully I stumbled onto someone on FB market that had a bunch of Celebrity and Atkinson plants I picked up.
Interesting converstation from a dying breed. They "truck farm" to different markets in the local area. They showed me where they'd recently planted 3000 tomato plants. I cannot imagine. I'm thinking the 75 that I plant for canning is too much for one person to take care of but apparently not. Their greenhouse was very simple but obviously worked very well.

Damn the temps, it’s done.

The garden did not enjoy the 35-40 mph wind gusts but nothing broke. Have a few onions laying over. We do have a development though: potatoes are blooming.
Did see our first leaf footed bugs on the potatoes this weekend.

I already have tomatoes on some of my Early Girls and just covered all of my plants with a frost cloth. We likely won't get frost here in the urban heat island but I'm not taking any chances.

I was out in the rain and chilly wind for an hour trying to get everything covered. With the ridiculous wind and storms last night, I didn't sleep a wink worrying about my garden being destroyed.
As soon as my flag and bearded irises started blooming, the storms come and kick their butts.

Hey guys - recommendations for filling 2 - 4x8 beds for a first timer? Last weekend I bought 4 tomato plants, 2 pepper plants, 1 zuchinni squash, 1 strawberry plant, and seeds for okra and watermelon and also a few herbs.
I understand that I should trellis the tomatoes and put them on the north side so that they don't shade in the others.
Really looking at any advice because I'm just winging it right now..
Going to a nursery at lunch to buy the mulch/soil and plan to plant this weekend.
Would beans be something else I should look into adding?

Are your tomatoes determinate or indeterminate? Research and prune accordingly.
Watermelon will crawl out of that bed, across your yard, into the neighbor's yard, and then into your dreams where they'll be strangling you.
Okra kicks arse in the summer when everything else is beat down by the heat.
It'll be a race against vine borers for your zucchini.

I have no idea on the tomatoes - which do they need to be?
Lol on the watermelon - I've read the same thing about pumpkins (also something we want to do) -- maybe neither is good for the first year.

all ground vining melons will completely take over a bed and the surrounding area whether you plant one or one hundred. If you want melons that’s all your gonna have unless you have large beds segregated from the other planting areas
