Raspberry pick for the day 1pound 6 ounces. I get about that every other day. It is a 30 foot bed. I’m on week three of picking, my guess from what is on there probably have two more good weeks. After that a significant decline in the pickings. What I wonder is this good amount to expect? Anyways, I am expending the row to 60 feet for next year. Started working on it today. Fall might be early. If we get another good rain mushroom season is going to be excellent. I will do some scouting next week. I bet the lobsters will be starting.

My big challenge is blossom end rot. Sandy soil + cool nights. Slowly over the years I’m starting to find the varieties that work for me. Mostly Russian tomatoes and they also happen to be in my opinion some of the tastiest types.

2024-08-13 23:52:22

- reply

I think they lessen over time and change as the soil improves. For me spring weeds are more tenacious than summer weeds. It’s like everything they go overboard with their expert claims trying either to sell a product or their services. You know the shill,“ no more pests ever.” “No more weeds.” “The biggest, the best and the most nutrient dense crop ever.”
How about, “get mineral profile balanced, try to improve biological practices and you will be surprised at how successful your garden can be.”

Grass or perennial cover crop mix would be great. Mow it every so often shooting the cover crop onto the growing beds effectively fertilizing them. I am going to experiment with that method in another area. No matter what anybody says weeds will always be an issue. There also is no way around hard work. It’s kinda like the sowell quote no solutions only trade offs.

2024-08-13 22:36:57

I like them, but the main reason I use them is it leveled out the garden and it really helped out with areas that water gathered in the winter. I no longer have puddle issues. Some spots the chips are a foot deep. It seems to be improving the soil in the paths. Accidentally dropped seed if left alone are growing some decent quality plants.

Garden 1 of 4.
40. 100 sq ft beds.
Total space about 8500 square feet.
Mostly veggies.
Other 3 gardens are still under construction (permaculture).
Main issue now is keeping up on harvest, processing and watering.

A few weeks ago a peregrine falcon couple set up shop in our woods next to the garden. I was thrilled when I saw it dive and snatch a vole from the garden. I have a huge vole population in my garden. I thought finely nature balancing itself out. I’ve actually talked to a great horned owl several months ago scouting in an alder tree, I complained that he wasn’t doing shit about the voles. Anyway, last night while letting the dogs out for final pee, I saw the said owl swoop across the woods edge talons out snatch the falcon, the flacon screeched, it was over in an instant. Now I have only one lonely falcon taking care of the garden. lol 😂 Nature.
