A Weird Hillbilly's Garden

[GeauxHomeLittleD]

I have not started my garbage garden yet. I have been so busy. I am getting the chance to post now, only because I got a break here at work, and I am by myself.

My garden last year didn't yeild well, because I planted it in the wrong spot. It got full sun all day, and the Florida sun cooked them on the vine.

I am trying another spot down on the edge of the woods and near the pond. I just hope it doesn't become a critter hang out.

Noticed in the woods last week about five avocado trees growing. All about mid calf high.

My Mom had planned to try to sprout them, and it didn't look like anything was happening. I got tired of changing the water, so I just threw them out in the woods.

Go figure.

I may transplant a few. If I get the time.

My problem here is that in springtime old man winter keeps storming back into the room and yelling "And another thing....".

Growing season isn't nearly as long in northern Kentucky as it was in SE Texas and a small apartment doesn't give too much space to start too many things at once so I have to do everything in stages.

That is wonderful about the avocados! Definitely try to transplant a couple but I would leave the others- if it ain't broke don't fix it!

A lot of plants don't like full sun all day. Try to find a spot that gets different amounts of sun at different times of the day. I've found that tomatoes, squash and eggplant like evening sun, okra and peppers of all kinds prefer morning sun, corn and beans like full sun, etc. One of the reasons farmers are so picky about where they plant. Fortunately our patio gets sun in different areas at different times- also you can move planters around if an area doesn't suit them.

May all of our gardens be full, abundant and tasty!
