Seven garden items, roughly 25 words each.
1: Weeding works your glutes.
Weeding. My preferred pose involves stooping over and squatting down a bit. A glute workout. It’s like Tai Chi, but you get something done.
2: Black raspberries are in season.
Black raspberries? My wife loves them. The deer won’t eat them. What’s not to like? Not my favorite, due to fruit size and seediness.
3: Bird scare tape is pretty …
… ineffective. That conclusion, based on the scene from my garden, above.
4: Poor pea yield this year. No clue why.
It’s June. Pea blossoms are gone. Yield? One scant portion a day, for a week or so, from this double row. Total contrast to last year’s bounty (Post G23-017).
5: My garlic is dying back.
But it’s OK, it’s just that time. Plant in October. Harvest June-ish. Instructions on when to harvest garlic are a bit vague.
6: Ginger lives!
That’s almost two months of growth? Ginger doesn’t do much when the weather is cool. She wants 90F soil temperatures. She’s just now perking up.
7: Potatoes, just doing their thing.
Potatoes have looked suspiciously good all season. Currently hilled with hay, lying down, and getting ready to die back.
