Hey there,
How are your gardens doing? What’s gone well this year, and where are you having problems?
Things are looking good for me so far. Like every year, I had some trouble with black bean aphids on my fava beans, but that seems to have resolved itself (even though the affected plants aren’t yielding much).
I’m happy with my onions and potatoes… does anyone know why some of my onion sets are deciding to go to seed?
Wishing you all a great week!
I just moved over the winter, so I was only recently able to set up one of the two raised beds in the new yard. It is filled with arborist woodchips which are heating up like compost, so I'm gonna let them cook over the winter and fill the rest with half topsoil/half compost for perennial veggies/fruits, and the other will have the same woodchips and Mel's Mix on top for annual veggies.
My herbs and strawberries are doing okay, but I can already tell that I'm going to have to go to war against squirrels, raccoons, possums, and skunks.
