Finally! We spent yesterday (Memorial Day) working on the veggie garden. Not sure how big it is, but it's about twice the size of last year's garden.
We have four rows of corn planted, two varieties, one early, one late. Twelve tomato bushes: Lemon Boy (a yellow tomato that DH wanted to try), Roma, Amish Paste, Supersize, and Beefsteak). Twelve peppers of different kinds: regular green peppers and lots of banana peppers, two short rows of green bush beans, a short row of red beets, some broccoli, four cucumber plants, and four hills of zucchini and yellow squash. We fenced it all in and also sprinkled some Liquid Fence around the perimeter in a (probably vain
) attempt to deter bunnies and groundhogs.
We planted a Shasta daisy in the back yard flowerbed to make up for one that we must have lost during the winter as we didn't see it this spring. And some yellow butterfly daisies in the front flowerbed. So we were busy.
I also planted three caladiums in the back yard....we're starting a bit of a new flowerbed. I do have a question, if anybody can answer: Are caladiums supposed to be dug up in the fall and then replanted in the spring? We live in central PA and I'm not sure. Anybody ever plant them? I did Google their care, but thought that if anybody has experience with them, you could give me your thoughts. Thanks.
Still didn't get that darn pool opened yet. DH may work on that tonight while I'm mowing the lawn.
