Last fall, I dug up a spot of ground and worked in some compost. Do you remember why? I actually did remember, and made it happen. A bit late, but we just had frost last week! Should be ok.
I planted some seeds for the small, sweet pie pumpkins. I think the cage will keep them safe from rabbits and deer until they get big enough to escape through the wire, and then I'll either remove it or fence a larger area. I have some fencing, but I'd have to fight with it.
Nevertheless, this is my first foray into growing a vegetable for a LOT of years.

Good luck with the pumpkins. It's a pity that you have to wait so long.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
ReplyDeleteHopefully no one comes from underground.
Oh, yes, you will need more fencing. No cucurbit can be contained within that enclosure!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,
Shelly
best of luck with those. I'm not good with gardens at all. I wish I was though
ReplyDeleteI hope it works to keep out the moochers. I have to cage our catnip because Hobbes lays on it and kills it. :)
ReplyDeleteChuck- my summers have been otherwise occupied than gardening
ReplyDeleterainfield. There is that- several candidates here
vanilla- Oh, I know. It was already fixed in this circle, and it was an easy way to get started
shelly- me too!
Ann- my dad was the best- me, not so much
Well, at least I don't have to deal with Hobbes
Hope you get your pumpkins in time for Halloween, Joan. We have runner beans climbing their poles this year. Last year we gave up on them because the young plants were eaten by slugs as soon as we put them in the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe rhubarb is good this year too.
