Green Onions this Year
We exchange lists of
what we’re tending in
our own patches of dirt:
Yellow squash and Zucchini,
Bush beans and Cucumber,
Snap peas and Basil,
Lettuce long as it may last,
Mint, Dill, Lemonbalm (individually contained)
Sunflowers??
And again Jalapeños
And again Bells
And again Tomatoes
Green onions this time.
Carrots by seed in the fall.
A container blueberry bush
as the leaves turn, too.
I’m learning the peppers
are preferable in five gallon buckets.
I’ll ask my bakery for their empty containers–
And urge you to put in a request, too.
We can overwinter them together.
Gardens teach as we go.
Come out back
and see how everything grows.

Epic sense of camaraderie between all parties here!
I’m so glad you can feel the friendship.
“Gardens teach as we grow.” Love the phrasing of this very true statement.
Thank you.
Reworked that a couple-few times and decided that would do alright.

Love how the last three lines invite us into this world 🙂
Thank you.
Meet ya at the garden gate!
Nice! I’m doing a little bucket gardening myself this year. Green peppers, tomatoes and rosemary.
Ooo! Sounds perfect.
Best of luck with it.
It’s a great year for the garden with all the rain in Kentucky. Nice write!
Here’s hoping it doesn’t get too hot for anyone!
