Back In The Saddle I Suppose

Welp, after some fallow years (only for the garden, mind you), I'm back.

My fiancée died April 2022, and while I already wasn't gardening before that, it was because I was maintaining that family. Unfortunately, I have no rights to the kids as I didn't make them, so their grandmother is in control now. I'm slowly weaning them off me, as I don't want them confused.

So anyway!

Turns out there was a lovely person at work who was always just kinda waiting for me to be single, and she's very understanding of my grieving and my needs, and boy oh boy, does she want a garden!

So, we're turning and amending beds, already planted out some store garlic (that I'm pretty sure was red inchelium anyway), the turnips and scallions from the list below, and we'll get radishes in the ground probably this weekend.

So yeah, I'm back. Life is what happens when you're busy making plans.

Buena Mulata Pepper
Golden Beet
Red of Florence Onion
Yellow Brandywine Tomato
Mortgage Lifter Tomato
Crenshaw Melon
French Breakfast Radish
Orange Habanero Pepper
Cal Wonder Bell Pepper
Thomas Laxton Pea
Marketmore Cucumber
Dar Cucumber
Ishikura Onion
Asuka Akane Turnip
Butterfly Weed Milkweed

Brainchasm, Boy, have I missed you! bounce

Good to hear from you again. I'm sorry about your fiancé. That hurts.

Are you going to help your friend from work set up a SFG garden? Photos! Looking forward to anything you post!

She's in an apartment, so she's basically going to live vicariously (and also directly) through my raised beds. She's tried growing things before without much success, so I'm teaching her the SFG method, but also the actual art and nuance from the bit I've learned over the years.

That's one twist on building good relationships in beds- garden beds that is silly me

Welcome back, Brainchasm

Welcome back, brainchasm! Sounds like you have been through a lot and had some stuff to deal with, hang in there. Gardening is therapy, and glad to hear the doctor is back!

Some of the garlic is already peeking up, and the melon seeds we put in trays and under a grow light on Sunday night, some are sprouted as of Wednesday morning, lol. Gotta love cucurbits.

Welcome home, Brainchasm... I'm sorry to hear about what's happened. And glad you're back.
