Re: Gardens 2023
I believe this part of Missouri is zone 6A. We are having a much better growing season this year than we had last year.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 6:26 am @JSinMO Jeff , what zone are you there ? You are so much farther ahead than we are .
@Eugen I’m trying to do better with weed control this year. I think it being so dry helps, and Im not watering the whole thing I’m just trying to water right around the plants this year.

Re: Gardens 2023
@Harry I think they're called Eastern white cedar. The bush around us is full of them. Some fellow around here delivers them at a decent price. I got 22 of them two years ago, they were about 3 feet high. The problem is that when delivered, the trees really looked like he dug them out with a shovel, with only about 6-8 inches roots. I was amazed that only one died in the last year, and one more looks like it's about to die. But I knew that they need quite a lot of water, both on account of the small roots they were given to me with, and that they're also called swamp cedars, they're thirsty. Here's a pic of them now.

Re: Gardens 2023
They look a lot like some arborvitae that I have. The green giant thuja arborvitae I have grow pyramidal in shape with no pruning. They can get up to ten feet wide and forty feet tall. I like them because the deer won’t eat them. I’ll take some pics and post them. Harry

Re: Gardens 2023
Some disease or pest is killing our garlic
I think it's the stem and bulb nematode, so it means no more garlic planting for a few years.

Re: Gardens 2023
@Eugen I do not recognise the cause of the damage to your garlic . Maybe we have a horticulturist lurking around this site that will recognise the issue.

Re: Gardens 2023
June 28th and we’ve got our first ripe tomatoes! In this part of the world tomatoes by the 4th of July is just about perfect.
Our zucchini seems to have exploded, I may have planted too much! We have been frying it and my says she is going to prep a lot of it for zucchini bread. I can hardly wait!
If you guys like cherry tomatoes you might like to try these. I believe they are called sun sugar. We all just stand around the plant and eat them!
Corn is tasseling, we’re making ears!
