I put out extra buckets to catch the rain water for reuse in the garden because it was raining so much! And I've recently dug up and replanted some lilac shoots and they desperately need water! So I'm glad for the rain this week. My tomatoes were looking grim too, so now I'll have plenty and can feel good about wishing for sunny days!
Some things I want to remember for next year are:
1) to plant some different varieties of tomatoes (some of the heirloom variety)
2) to plant earlier (around the end of march start the peas/beans/radishes).
3) to set out the rain buckets earlier
This winter I want to attempt growing English Cucumbers-apparently they don't need to be pollinated, so this would be a good indoor variety. Me and Annemarie also have a friend who are giving us a banana tree to grow (yes, they grow it outside in VT)...so that should be loads of fun!
And I got 3 more cucumbers this past Saturday! So I'll have to go through the blog and count how many that is now! It's over 10; hopefully I recorded them all!
I've also ordered garlic to grow this October to harvest next fall. Very exciting! Thanks to Rene who organized that for me! :)
Cheers!
