RE: Homesteading and Gardening Weekly Contest "From Plug to Harvesting" by Sunscape
Your garden sounds just like mine. I have so much more growing and getting ready to harvest already. It is so exciting and I really enjoy doing it. My husband said to me, I thought you were going to plant less this year due to some physical issues. I said, I did. I only put in 50 peppers instead of 200, 6 tomato plants instead of 30, and well only 8 variety of squash. I thought I did well cutting back and he just smiled at me as we were picking the kale.
I forgot to mention, my little nightmare plant!
A few years ago, in my old herb garden, off to one side, I planted a small red raspberry plant. It was a Quart sized container. By the end of the first season, it had grown about 4 ft tall. And a bit more wide.
By the end of year 4, last year, it was about the size of my car.
It's 5 feet wide, and about 8 feet long, and about mid chest high.
I pulled in a large bowl every day, last season. Fresh raspberries, and made some raspberry liqueur. This year, Jams and Jellies are planned.
Oh, and the herbs had to all be moved!
