We finally got the gardens planted about 10 days before the company started arriving last week.
It was STILL May but just barely!
I am pretty worthless when it comes to digging and planting. It's all I can do to harvest.
#1 Son wasn't here long enough to dig up my gardens this year and Hubs had been laid up with medical issues so we are late getting going this season.
I took this photo about a week ago.....
It's green beans(vining)in the back row and radishes in the front row.I am pretty worthless when it comes to digging and planting. It's all I can do to harvest.

Hubs says the middle row is collards but I am not sure of that. It's a 20 foot row and he planted it heavily. I didn't think I had enough collard seed to have this much sprouting!lol
We'll see later on what he actually planted I guess.
No photo of the front yet but it's tomato plants, yellow squash and colorful bell peppers.
And here is what I've got going on the dog run.....
So I have hung gutters on it.
I'm copying my friend Brenda in Maine.....
I can't nail gutters onto my shed(besides, it doesn't get enough sunshine anyway), so I used the dog run and we wired them on.
And the greens are starting to come up now......
At least until they learn to scale chain link fencing....
So now we are keeping the dog run.
Might have to expand this gutter thing and hang some on the back end of the run too.

Great idea. I have never seen those before. Salad gutters! Who would have thunk it?
ReplyDeleteI love that idea of using the gutters on the side of a shed for growing veggies - I pinned the picture on pinterest! I hate bending over!
ReplyDeleteYou can also put things inside in the ground or in planters that cats want to get into or that bunnies want to munch. Get a couple of chickens and put in there. Just curious--how much are you asking for the dog yard? That is exactly what my hens live in.
ReplyDeleteYou could put berry bushes inside if birds like to rob the berries and put a net over it. I have thought that if I get rid of my hens ever, I would use the pen to grow things inside. Oh, yeah. Birds can go through the chain link. Oh well, you would have a structure on which to put the netting all around.
That's a nice sturdy structure for tomatoes.
If I ever find a dog pen/run priced reasonably, I would get it for more hens...lol.
That's a great idea that I could still use with my chickens in the pen.
I'm thinking of adding another little garden behind the garage. I know, I'm crazy!
ReplyDeleteWe want to try gutter gardening, too, but haven't found any used guttering yet. We refuse to buy it new.
ReplyDeleteThis year, Shane didn't diagram where he planted (I usually do that, but passed it all off to him this year). We are constantly disagreeing about what is planted where. Guess I'll be picking that task up again next year.
That is a great idea. You are so talented!
