Hard Work and Water
liquid crystal icy water dripping and hard work good for my soul
This is going to be a super short post - probably 3 pictures only, but I might comment on it.
OK, let me go get the pictures, they were taken today.
Alright, I think I got em…..here they are:
Progress continues, the garden boundaries for 2023 are now defined.

So here is an idea I have if things get going well for the plants that I plant - especially the ones who are "vinery" in nature - they have vines, they like to spread out.
So, I'm going to place fencing around each of the garden areas, there are critters about in this place - our getaway place...., but I'm going to extend the fencing a few feet beyond the perimeter of the dirt and then I'm going to place a trellis or some such that the viney plants can grow up as they desire to do in the first place to get some sunlight and be off the ground so moist, and then they can climb to the top and then settle back down on the other side all the while maximizing sunlight for the sake of producing the plant's product. So, cucumbers, some tomatoes, squash I suspect and maybe even okra, but I'm not sure......anyhow, this will be an easy way for these plants to have more room and room is the limit of the garden. But if you go "up and down" then your in the 3rd dimension and lots of room can be made that way to a limit of course. Everything is limited in the real world.
Last year I packed things too tightly, so this year I intend on having proper space for each of the plants to grow - assuming that is I get these sprouts who are so wonderful and thriving presently even though I had to throw out a few more contaminated peppers this morning.....assuming that is I get them into the ground and give them a chance to grow in the sun proper. That is my plan and not all plans go as desired, but if you don't plan in advance, then you are just going along with the tide and I advise against that.
Peace,
Ken
You don't have much less snow than we do! It's supposed to be 19 degrees over night tonight. 🙄 I got a couple sets of stakes for viney things and some mulch/manure mix, so I'm getting ready!
