Over the garden survived my neglect. However there were a few additions
that I’m pretty happy about.
Raspberries, 20 ft trellis and 5 plants. Looks like one did
not survive the heat/transplanting but I’ll know for sure in the spring. I do
have unlimited access to more plants.
Blackberries, a second trellis and 5 additional plants.
Asparagus, added to the 1st raised bed. I transplanted
mature plants…it was the wrong time of year but they were going to be covered
over by a driveway. It was worth the try. It looks like they lived as there was
continued growth. Again we’ll know come spring.
I’ve located 3 more plants in the area growing wild and want to get those
this fall.
Rhubarb, 6 2nd year plants to the 3rd raised bed. They
are doing wonderful, healthy and thriving…tripled in size and continue producing
new shoots through mid September.. After 4 years of killing them I’ve not taken
one cutting & following nursery advise, mulched the plants with their own
leaves as they withered. Next year should be a bountiful harvest.
Concord Grapes, Transplanted a 10-15 yr old vine that was
scheduled to be ripped out. Again wrong time of year but, the only investment
was the trellis (which we would have put in next year)
but i want rubarb sauce THIS year!! love you, mom!
