Short update

Planted corn again this year. Been talking with people to figure out how to keep the coons out. But first we have to keep the crows out. I've read some on the internet, and this is what some people use.


Hopefully we grow enough corn to need to figure out how to keep the coons out.

The broccoli is still doing well, though we found another fire ant hill so we had to look for something we could use safely.


I'm pretty sure these are weeds. Any gardeners have any idea? We compost, but hubby is not good about waiting before it gets used...


Our apple trees are blooming. They grew apples last year. Three years old this year. NONE of the apples ripened successfully last year. I expect that might have been due to the farmland behind us. Spray doesn't stay where you want it, but there is really no telling. Would love to get a couple home grown apples this year.


Hope you all have a blessed weekend. ♥

  1. I usually pick off any fruit until the fourth year that way all the trees energy goes to its growth

  2. Things are looking great.

    No corn up yet but the squirrels love to pull up my onion sets.

  3. I think your garden is coming along nicely! If you lived near me, you wouldn't have to worry about the crows and coons getting your corn, you'd have to worry about me! :-)

  4. Your garden is looking good. My first thought about the weed is that it looks like poison nightshade, but I'm not sure. I've have those in the garden too and I always thought it was poison.
