Garden Update May 26, 2022

Our weather has flipped from very hot to quite cool, dry to pouring rain for days. By today, I wasn’t sure what I would find as I finally wandered outside. Bert has already pumped the water twice from the rain barrels by the shop up to the larger one by the garden so we’re ready to water as needed.

Because of all the crazy weather, we found the strawberries were not doing well in the tower, so we had to take it apart to give the plants more light. A few plants didn’t make it, but others have already sent out runners, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Here is what they looked like two weeks ago:

Strawberries…two weeks ago!

By this week they had changed. The two pots on the left looked great!

I couldn’t get the other big pot photo to download here…it was just better than 2 weeks ago.

But the tower had to be taken apart:

All five layers looked like this one!

Continuing to the rest of the patio plants:

Spinach has popped!
Lettuce and radishes look promising!
I just couldn’t resist trying a few!
Yummy!
Painted Pony beans.

All the other beans look about the same as above…I can’t get the pictures to download! Grrr! Very frustrating!

Super Sauce tomatoes!
Echinacea.

So much for trying to show you everything! These are the only pictures that will download today! Luckily, all the other sections have pretty small plants, so hopefully by the time there’s something to see, the pictures will download! Check back in a week or two!

Hope you’re enjoying your May weather. Email me directly at marykisner@comcast.net.
