Bad news...mom has spoken

no additional 11 raised beds for my garden. she has agreed to allow me 2 more this year, so I will stretch that to 3 new raised beds in the garden to give me a total of 6 raised beds.

just going to grow some culinary herbs and greens this year. kinda boring I think, but I will grow some jalapenos which will add a little excitement in the herb section.

she says if I do a good job that I will be allowed to add more next year.

the good news is I will spend less time managing the beds and have more time at night to watch the ballgame.

will soon be working, the weather is starting to be bearable outside. in the 40’s when it warms up. im going to wait until temperatures are in the 50’s or higher before I go outside and start working.

My dad gets big in to gardening and I like to help him, but we are cutting back this year. We haven’t had a good yield on any of our melons, eggplants, or brussel sprouts after trying for a few years.

Sounds like a worthy project! Wish you all the best with it.

@jukebox and @rogueone , appreciate the support and the kind words.

@Squanchy no melons but I thought I might try to grow brussel sprouts, didn’t know they were a challenge to grow.

We just haven’t had any luck with them. I think they may like cooler weather but I’m not sure.
