Our Squash

🌿Our Squash is out of Control

Squash has taken over our garden! There were squash (summer & winter squash, pumpkins, and melons) seeds in our compost and we put our compost dirt on almost everything. Now the Squash has spread everywhere.

We did plant squash in rows with hog panels bent over them in an arch, but now the squash has spread out over a large area.

Mulching our garden

🌿 No more weeds! We have always had problems with weeds in our garden. Cardboard with wood chips over it didn't work, and neither did mowing/weed whacking. We decided to lay down weed fabric, and then wood chips. It seems to be working so far as we have no weeds where we have done it already. This is what everything used to look like. N ow it looks like this. We first tried raking the old stuff away and rolling out the fabric. Then shoveling/raking the old stuff back on top. But the below technique worked even better. We would rake the old wood chips forward to clear an area and roll the fabric that far. Then scoop the pile over the end of the roll. It is already working and looking much better and we are looking forward to no more weeds. My sister's blog show's more of our mulching in her garden tour post. Link here

🌿 Raspberries and Black Caps This spring we finally organized our raspberries and transplanted some black caps (aka. black raspberries) to rows.  Before this spring we did not have rows, just a huge patch with very unorganized plants and lots of weeds (pesky thistles).  We have a very nice harvest this year. wild black caps: left: behind our tomato greenhouse; right: next to our other berries
