What's in your garden

I have been spending the last couple of weekends getting my garden ready. I planted tomato, parsley, jalapeno, mint, and basil so far.

As always there are the spices.... Savory, Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, Garllic, Parsley, Taragon, Oregano, Marjoram......and..... for smells Pineapple Sage and Lavender.

The Plum, Apple, Pear, and Peach trees are loaded as is the Almond. The Blueberries (6 now) all survived winter and are loaded again as will I am sure the strawberries this year. The Zin, Thompson, Red Rave, and Syrah vines have popped and we are looking forward to this years wine batch and we hope this year to finally get kiwi fruit.....


Its gonna be a fun year!

DB you make your own wine?

[DBCooper]

Yup. The Zins last year were good enough for it although we picked too early. This year we plan for two batches now that we have all the hardware. Last year turned into a good batch of wine vinegar but we know why that happened now.

Very cool. That sounds like a fun hobby.

DB....sure you live here in RM? How come it does not get eaten by the deer! Maybe you have a grreenhouse, or a deck?

I do have lovely weeds though, can you use some for making weed wine? .

[DBCooper]

5 foot fences have the deer at bay. That and liberal usage of deer fence liquid repellant works wonders on everywhere else. We feed a 6 pointer after the main plum harvest each year. We nicknamed him Buck and he knows his name well......

Good for you old son!

Sadly the older I become the less patience I have for anything. To think I once sat up until 3:am undoing the buttonholes (at least 15 of them) on a dress I was making, as they were on the wrong side! Today I would have tossed it aside; no I wouldn't, as I would not have ventured in to such an undertaking......money was quite scarce in those days though.
