Found my memory!

While I am still memory challenged, my camera isn't! I got to take ALL KINDS of pics today. I hope they don't shut down my blog due to too many pics! LOL

I am going to plant the strawberries that I have in containers in the window boxes and flowers the pots.

Hanging Tomato Plant June 4th


June 18th


My fruit bushes June 4th. Bottom left is my blackberries, bottom middle is my raspberries, bottom left is blueberries. Top left is blueberries and top right is raspberries. I bought a second blackberry but he died and when I took him back there weren't any. I hope I can get another one next year and this one will be fine until then.



Planted in the ground near the shed.


Blueberry bush June 18th


Blueberry bush. I found out there were 2 cut worms in this guy's soil. I think that is why he is so small. Hopefully he will be better now.


Blackberry June 18th


Raspberry June 18th


Raspberry June 18th. This one actually has raspberries on it! You can't see it in this picture though.


Where the white is, that is where I HAD raspberries. Nice pretty red ones...the birds thought so too. Left me with this.



But I do have some left! This is why I have the pinwheel, foil thingies and water all guarding them. If it happens again, I am going to have to break down and get netting.



This is my Crookneck squash June 4th.


This is it NOW!! June 18th. Of course, the trellises in the back are for it to grow on, but it is going straight up! I hope I am able to get it to crawl up the trellises but I have no idea how I am going to train it with those humongous leaves.


These are the broccoli I thought I would experiment with. I planted them around the first of June...if you look closely in the June 4th picture, you can see little green specks. That is the broccoli. I don't know if they will survive but I thought I would see how well they did just planted in the soil instead of starting them. Every one of my broccoli died and all but one cabbage died when I transplanted it.


Here are some red cabbage I am doing the same thing with.


I am not sure what this is. It doesnt look like a weed, but I cant remember what I could have planted here.

Pumpkin, Watermelon, and Cauliflower June 18th



Crimson Sweet watermelon, which I am not sure if it is a hybrid or heirloom, was bought because my watermelon didnt look like it was going to make it. Now the sugar baby is bigger than he is! Is the Sugar Baby suppose to have the spots on the leaves like that? Oh and this is June 18th :)

Sweet Potatoes June 4th


Sweet Potatoes June 18th AWESOME! Sweet potatoes are suppose to flower right?


The Miracle Box. This is a box that I built with some soil that a friend of mine used in her garden. She showed me how much lettuce she had and I couldn't believe how well it was growing. She said it was the soil but I thought that couldn't be possible. She brought me two bags of it and this is the box it went in. I call it the miracle box because 3 days after planting the bush beans, they germinated. I was stunned.




I dont have a full picture of the miracle box but I do have one that was focusing in on the bird houses on the ladder. Thanks Granny for the idea to do them!! Please excuse the back wall. I am trying very hard to fix that. 40 years of wear and tear :)



Another side of the bird houses on the ladder!



Radishes June 4th


Radishes and watermelon taking over June 18th. I had one radish already. Huge and WONDERFUL!! I tried radishes in containers and it just didnt work right. I guess not enough sun.


I didnt get real good pictures of this box probably because it was overflowing. No matter really. I have a BILLION pictures up this post already! LOL

Thanks for hanging in there until the end. Of course, the next ones wont be as long. There are even more pictures on my flickr account if you are a glutton for punishment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7777815@N05/

HAPPY GARDENING! I love it myself!
