Gardening - Gardening Tour - Around the Garden Fence

Spring 2014

There is so much going on in the gardens this spring!! 



Left side of the outside of the garden



Around the garden fence, I like to plant climbing veggies. I think it adds a wonderful effect around the garden. Plus it uses an area that might not used other wise. Also the plants and fence work together. They support each other. 

This year I'm working on planting my transplants and weeding the vine that has decide to take over. 

Onions and Rich Sweet melon

I did get the front of the fence weed and planted, well until the chickens decide to eat my seeds. I'm going to pot plant the seeds and transplant in two weeks. Right now I have onion, Rich Sweetness 132 melon on the inside of the front fence, on the right side.  I will plant my zucchini on the outside of the fence once it grows. I do have 3 pots planted next to the garden too. One with strawberries, one asparagus, and the last one grapes. 

Garlic and Apple Melon

On the left side of the front fence I have garlic and apple melon growing. I am so excite to see how the apple melon grows and what it will taste. On the outside of the fence will be the same as the outside of the right. 

 

Peppers and Tomatoes

I'm working on the right side of the fence I am planting peppers and tomatoes on the inside. I got all 12 of my pepper plants planted. I only got 4 of my tomato plants planted. I have 8 more to go. 

My Garden

I am also working on the inside of the back of the fence. I am planting my wax beans and green beans there. I got my wax beans planted. I planted 24 plants in two weeks I will plant 24 seeds in between so they keep growing throughout the season. I do have to plant green beans still but there is so much vine. I am working on weeding. 

 



Zinnia and yellow squash

On the left side of the fence. I started to work on the outside of the fence. I planted Zinnias and yellow squash! I have about 6-7 yellow squash plants. Mmmm I can't wait to grill some up! 

Hope you like the tour!! How is your garden coming along? 

Daily Goals ~ Friday, May 30th, 2014

Good morning! I have spend the last hour grossing myself out. I have been looking up spiders. I' not a huge van of spiders, but I will not kill any either. I believe all creatures have a reason. Spiders have one to eat my mosquito. I have been finding them everywhere though. I found a clear on in the garden, and a black and white one in the car. I just want to know more about them. Lucky they won't hurt me!

Our Little Homestead- More Bunnies!!!

I can't believe that my little homestead grow again!! Ivory had more babies! I don't know how this ones are going to make out though. I had to move them. The cage wasn't clean at all, and she keep moving them trying to find a spot for them. I know, I sound like a horrible owner, but I was plan on clean the cage the day she had them and with them outside most of the time the cage inside wasn't ready for her to give birth.

Plus the fact that there were already 2 parents and 6 babies in the cage. 

I moved the babies into the old cage, and put the new bunnies in a nesting box area. 

I feel like a horrible owner right now. I love my bunnies, and I have to keep up on the cages better. Now I have 3 rabbit hutch to clean!! 

We welcome 8 more babies to the family! Now I wonder if I really should sperate the mom and dad. But they are so attach I'm worried about separating them. 

Do you guys have any advise? Any help would do.
