  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Half of the garden is in as of today. Still getting some slow starters (from seed indoors) acclimated to full sun and then they'll get planted.

As usual I'm very heavy on hot peppers with 12 different varieties, as well as 8 different varieties of tomato, green, red, yellow, golden and chocolate bell peppers, lettuce, crooked neck squash, zucchini and corn.

Nothing better than fresh home grown produce.

Anyone else have one out yet?

Planted some tomatoes in buckets on the deck over the weekend. That's it for this year. Maybe next year I'll get some wind in my sails and build a raised bed to plant in, but this year didn't happen.

I've picked about 5gallons of green beans over the last few weeks. And looked at the carrots and they are doing well. The heat is starting to get to the garden. I'm watering every day, but it hasn't rained here in almost two months...

Looking good TheBayratt!

We have almost biblical amounts of rain here for the last 2 months. I had to wait, wait, and then wait some more for my ground to be dry enough to till.
