Fig trees are amazing. We will have at least a couple hundred juicy figs.
Lettuce and kale made us grow tired of them.
How about yours? Did you let it go to weeds once it warmed up?  |
I've been what seems like epic busy in the big, revenue generating garden.
We did put up corn last weekend. About 1/3 as much as last year, which was good. We got a little big for our britches last year and didn't get all of last years eaten.
I finally got the hideous assed flowerbeds in front of the house fixed......ish.
When we bought the house in Nov 14 it had these flowerbeds with these goddamned evergreen shitbushes. Dug all that shit out and put rocks in.
Initially, there were 3 trees out front. Each planted in a raised bed. Well, some ****nut that lived here before cut one of the trees down. They went ahead and left the bed. OK whatever. So then they thought, WOW that was a good place for a tree. Let's plant one. So they moved over 5 feet and planted one. Not in a raised bed. Just ****ing there.
So we dug all the shit out of the old bed and moved it around the new one. We took a chance and put some dirt in there. There was a pretty good chance it would suffocate the trunk and it would die. Dug all the compost and bullshit out of there beds and put some different rocks in.
Well shit. I thought I had some pictures. I'll try to grab one in the light. It's not great, but the wife and I are strictly interested in minimal maintenance.
