Shhh, our little secret-Straw bale gardening update.


Took these pictures yesterday for this week’s straw bale gardening update. But due to another grandchild’s graduation last night at 7, I didn’t have time to upload them. Thought maybe I would do that before bedtime, but this graduation had 361 graduates and the ceremony lasted till 8:30 and visiting over ice cream longer. We didn’t get back to our room till 10:30. That was the last one for this year. All we have let are the four parties this coming weekend. Let the fun begin. Back to the straw bale gardening. Tomatoes and Cucumbers are doing great. The green beans are coming up on the sparse side but I wonder if that is the bales or the fact that a four year old did the planting. Was going to plant some in the bare areas today but it is rainy, windy and cold. Only got to 53 today. The forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 70, so maybe I can get that done in the afternoon when M leaves for the day. Shhh, our little secret.

  2. Looks good to me! I can't wait to be putting my tomatoes and peppers in the garden. I raised them from seed and they took forever. But suddenly in the past two weeks they've grown like crazy. Now they're sitting just beyond the back door in the rain. If it ever stops raining and warms up, I can plant them!

    Sounds like the graduation was fun. :-) I have to read more about your straw bale gardening!
