Besides growing veggies for one's self, it's always heartwarming to be able to grow extra to give to others. People that don't garden are usually so appreciative. So you've given corn a try. I hope you have better luck than we have had with growing corn. Despite having enough room to plant lots of seeds in order for them to pollinate each other, the weeds always seem to take over the plot.
I took a look at the link to the Candy Rooster squash and will keep them in mind for next year, this year all of our garden beds are chock full.
As is always the case we are several weeks behind you and have yet to harvest anything, but stuff is looking great.
It's too bad that the bugs are once again wreaking havoc on your cucumber plants. I don't know what bug is doing its evil ways, but if you see that slugs are the culprit you can try leaving a few empty beer cans around. Just leave an ounce or so in each one and we've found that the slugs just can't resist a sip of God's nectar.
Drinking the first 11 ounces in order to empty the cans can also be fun! 😁
Happy gardening my friend.
Just a wholesome, simple life pleasure, this gardening business. I only wish everyone had the space and time to give it a try because it really does have such a positive impact. It's especially rewarding to give someone a homegrown veggie when all they're used to is store-bought. Night and day difference!
I bet you'd enjoy the Candy Roaster if you give it a try. It's a fun one to switch up from butternuts or other hard squashes. I'm glad my seedlings took this year. I'd gladly trade you a few of those for some beets. ;)
Fingers crossed for our corn! They're getting a little overtaken by the volunteer tomatoes, but I'm trying to keep those pruned as much as I can. Always an adventure!
