I have garlic planted last fall, new blackberry vines that were gifted to me last year coming up (Need to figure out something easy for them to climb on), my blueberry bush is in bloom now looks like I’ll get even more than last year. Also we Just happened to buy Mr Hunts house. I never met Mr hunt and Mr Hunt has passed now but was a master gardener and left my yard full of every kind of blooming flower and trees after building this house and living here since the early 60s. There is something always blooming and I discover new plants and flowers all the time coming up. I feel super lucky to live with all the flowers but probably need to learn more about them so I can keep them happy. I have zero experience with flowers as where we moved from for 30+ years in Ga we had deer and other wildlife making it impossible to even try. I did have a fenced in area for garden veggies and a really nice kitchen garden close to the house which I also shared with the critters on occasion.
You got me thinkin and I am now in such a tizzy ima gonna have to get adjusted again and its not even 9 yet !

We are lucky so far deer are not in this neighborhood yet ,but when one finds out it will be a buffet
 
And sooooo...... after about 2 days being paranoid worrying about the seeds I transplanted Tuesday in the dirt Kindbud masked up gloved up and started a very precise surgery surgical pealing back lay after layer threw all 10 and proud to say surgery was mostly a success there are 7 germinating seeds with there tails digging down into the dirt and 3 that looks as they gave up or need more paper towel time to maybe possibly grow so I removed those 3 and gently covered the 7 up using very thin lay of soil and preformed sutures on the 7 putting covers over the tops and now Kindbud wipes his brow and turns the heater on low and sits down to have his morning pain pill and a smoke and report his findings to the group of awesome guys and girls he's happy to be back with 🙂🙃🙂

I have bought cattle panel and 4 inch pressure treated poles and made walls for our climbing stuff.
We had a invasion of bamboo and cleared it out and made 6 raised beds.
My honey went way to crazy and it is a lot for 2 old farts
I’ll have to find something around 3-4 ft wide for them to climb on or maybe move them to a different place. how Tall does it need to be for blackberries? Also I understand about going crazy with a big garden then having to keep up with it. Maybe that’s why the good lord only left me these two square foot areas to plant veggies in. I planted eggplants and tomatoes in one and peppers I. The other last year with great success and plan to do it again this year. My eggplant seedlings were started after I finally found a home for the clones I had in there. They are up about an inch now and I’m excited that I started them myself from organic seeds.

these are my two beds. I’m digging up along a fence to put some bush beans this year too. I hope I don’t dig up anything important as I’m sure there are all kinds of flowers on that same fence line.
 
Submaringirl. I like the way you built your box with those bricks with slots. That's a great idea. My ******* always used screws. Your way is so much simpler and easier to change out. Don't think I've ever seen those bricks or i just wasn't paying attention. Do they have a name?

My blackberries climb up my fence and over my trellis and onto my roof if i don't redirect them. They can get very tall or spread out.

The cattle panel is 50 in high . I set them a foot above grade and nail them in place with u nails .
I cut the cattle panel with bolt cutters and go max 12 feet which gives you a 4 foot piece left over

I would play some nice piano music which may help during the procedure ,but not dental music ,they dont like that stuff....
 
What’s growing in your garden?
Me, I got some grape vines waiting to go outside.
View attachment 292207
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg! I've been in a 15 year battle with grapevines, and I'm not winning. Absolutely the most invasive thing on the property, save dandelions. Even the birds are on their side. I can tell everywhere a bird takes a dump after eating grapes, 'cause up jumps another grapevine. I cut down one way out back that, at the base, was wider than my wrist.

Had to pay attention no music was playing wasn't listening to TV or nothing but now I'm listening to the new red hot chili peppers album unlimited love and 3 songs so far about loving alright lol
 
bamboo is a mofo
it cost around 4k+ to get rid of it and 4or 5 hundred for plastic barrier .
Where i live you could get into trouble if your bamboo invades someone elses property
We had it done and some is stil trying to come back.
I wish my hair tried half as hard ...

I find Horseradish is Impossible to get rid of. Years ago I planted it in a corner of my garden. Today I spend hours fighting it back. It would take over the whole garden if left unchecked. I have even sprayed Round up on it in the fall only to see it come back thicker in the spring.
 
It's always the short guys who have the biggest bats
