I finally got started in the garden today. I braced up some of the blackberry canes to make them easier to harvest this summer. I also cut out some old canes I had missed this fall and cut out some wild canes that have crept into the row.
I also started pruning apple trees, mostly cutting water suckers and new growth off the trunks although I completely pruned a short tree that I could reach standing on the ground.
I did a survey of the garden. I still have collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, kohlrabi, and brussels sprouts. I didn’t harvest anything today but a mess of greens and brussels sprouts are definitetly on the menu this week!
This is going to be a busy week. Esther has a basketball game tomorrow evening it is also her last day of school until next year. She has another game Thursday at South Greene that’s a long drive for me. I have some computer problems so hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday the computer repair guy can come over and fix the several problems we have developed since he was last here. Chloe our Yorkie is in heat and we would like to breed her once before we have her fixed, we’ll be working on that this week. Oh, and how could I forget- the continuing preparations for Christmas.
I’ll finish with a question. I have tried cauliflower 2 or 3 times now. I have yet to get it to make a head. I can grow broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts but not cauliflower. The plants look great but no head. Does anyone have any suggestions?
