Gardening Books

I've been reading gardening books this month. Fun stuff like weed and insect identifier books. lol But my two favorite books this month have been:



Gardening Without Work by Ruth Stout








Weedless Gardening
by Lee Reich





I have adopted some of each book. :) And I really like it so far! The gardens look so much better with the hay on the ground. I'm not having to work for hours every day trying to keep the weeds down. It's helping to retain moisture in the ground. I'm loving everything about it! But D is not so sure. He doesn't agree with the thought that you don't have to till the soil. Guess time will tell if we continue to use these methods.

Corn Maze

The neighbors cow climbed out of the fence last night. Climbed right OVER the fence. He/she ate a LOT of corn in the corn maze. :(

The Garden of Mystery

Hoed the peanuts, and the pumpkins. Abigail hoed the watermelon.

Pulled a FEW weeds out of the carrots and radishes. MANY more to go. :(

Yoda got out of the fence TWICE today, and was eating the corn in the corn maze. At least she's eating the feed corn, and not the people corn. But still! The little stinker!

The Garden of Mystery

Hoed 2 rows of peanuts. phew! The weeds sure like the peanuts!
We have a LOT of blossoms on the cantelope plants. As well as the pumpkins.
Abby hoed in the sweet corn.
