Garden 2024

Hope everyone’s earth is turned and green things growing.

My project for the last month was moving my Mom’s 12’x8’ greenhouse to our place. Dad hasn’t used it for a few years, and was amiable to me disassembling and bringing back with us; he spent a month convalescing with us after having a few toes amputated. He enjoyed watching me dig in the foundation and new beds.
It was 25years since the folks built it so I ordered new glazing for it. Took almost 4wks to get the panels. Tripped down to Kelowna last Monday to pick them up. Also had to wash every part of the frame as it was coated with algae and mildew. Even some liken and moss growth.

Took most of a 12hr day to get the frame washed, assembled, and the glazing installed. Today was the roof vents and door.


Turned the earth a few more times and tomorrow the Tom’s and cukes leave the living rooms and take residence in their new home.


Wife should be stoked when she returns tomorrow night from the island.

I’m sore. Bushmills being liberally applied.

I left some stuff in last season, onions are separating and flowering. Herbs are doing good, thyme, oregano, chives, parsley, and sage all winter well here.





Hops are doing well and help to shield the neighbors.



Been carrying soil prep and working the beds, beans and beets went in tonight. Going to put in the tomato and pepper seedlings tomorrow.

^ i've probably asked you this before, are those hops quick growing? would love to try a hop wind wall.

i'm a little behind here this year, hope to do the big planting today or tomorrow. garlic, onion, potatoes are in of course, but everything else got put off a week.

Finally got things out of the sun room and into the dirt. 14 tomatoes, 2 zukes, 2 yellow squash, and a row of green beans.

Inherited a couple more zukes from a friend and will squeeze those in somewhere...

Roses, peonies, and Honeysuckles are happy.









Apple tree is budding nicely and raspberries humming with bees. Went with pots this year, got them for free from a friend. Planted pretty early in May but I think they’ll make it. I’m done with ground growing, the slugs won.

They grow super fast and establish easily. Skifishbum gave me a pod of rhizomes a few years ago. They die to the ground at the end of the growing season and cover my fence by this time every year. I throw them a little fertilizer every year and hardly water them. I dug up a few and transplanted them down my fenceline a bit, now blocking the neighbors even more effectively.






I don’t know anyone that home brews but I have a shit ton of hops every year. If anyone would like them let me know.

Now filled with various toms, peppers & chillies, and cukes.

Some will be gracing the table soon!

Roof vents with new cylinders. Pricey things for lasting less than a decade. Have to research what the wax they use for the hydraulics, and try to rebuild the old ones.

I think I'm just going to sit outside at night and around sunrise with a pellet gun. Fukn birds and little critters are eating all the strawberries and lettuce. Something actually ripped out a bunch of onions and leeks and enjoyed them a few days ago, yesterday two of the strawberries in hanging pots were stripped and today they got the rest.

I love the garden thread. Is anyone else in zone 3? I'm higher than 10k and there was a thin sheet of ice on the birdbath this morning. I do have a row of rhubarb in full bloom, pretty amazing, maybe people want to see a pic of that...
