Finally, The Gardens are Full!

[digitS']

Okay, I've got room for another bed of green beans and more sweet corn but the 1st seeds of those things have been sown! I've still gotta find a home for my "naked" oats - or, I tell DW, we won't have breakfast cereal for the winter ! And, I haven't got the eggplant sufficiently "taught" (if I understand Reinbeau's meaning of the word) and can't trust the tender little things out there just yet!

However, not only is some of the sweet corn and bean seed in the ground but so are the melon and pepper plants, aaallll of the tomatoes and the cucumbers have been re-planted!

Goin' for broke! I haven't been quite this late - for yeeaaars !

Went to bed with something of a headache last night, maybe from running the tiller in the corn patch while getting drenched! Anyway, in bed before 9pm up at 4:45am -- I went to bed before sundown & got up after sunrise!!!! First time this year! Essentially, nothing to do in the garden today - oh, since it's turning out cloudy, imagine I'll move some bok choy, senposai and komatsuna that are too crowded into that bed where we've been harvesting stir-fry greens, already.

and, aaalll the other TEG gardeners! Thank you for helping me keep my spirits up and inspire me thru a difficult spring! If I enjoy any success this year, some of the responsibility for it, is yours!

Sincerely,
Steve

Isn't it a great feeling to be "done"? You will surely have success and lots of it, Steve! Your garden is growing way over here in upstate NY... the bok choy looks great, the Maltese, and the Grape Tomatoes are big and tall. I have a little patch of soybeans going too! Thanks for all the great seeds!

Steve-YOU are our inspiration also! You were the first one to email me with information about where to find a certain tomato seed I was looking for. Your posts are always chocked full of helpful information.
I am a long time gardner also...but I have had to have breaks and help from family due to health. I almost live thru all of you folks on here!

I would LOVE to feel done, however everyday I walk out I see 2-3 things I forgot to do, or could use being done. Everything will grow and produce without me at this point though.... that's probably about the same feeling I guess. :/

Yay Steve! Now if only the weeding would be permanently done!

Weeding?!?

No, not "dun" done.

In fact, there might be a chance to pull some of the last of the bok choy transplants and replace them. You know, succession planting . . .

I'm big on succession planting! I know and appreciate the idea of being finished with transplanting/sowing seed ~ then show up in August (after weeding/watering/care) and harvesting the whole lot of things . . . and then, be dun again!

But, I'm not a canner and not even all that great as a freezer.

Thanks for the kind words and thinking that I might be done .
