Hi group, Newbie here. Two years ago I moved into a new house and for the first time in a long time, I have room for a garden. So this summer I planted a garden just to see how things would work out. Well, we didn't get steller results. But we got something. Based on the results of or first season, I have a bunch of questions. For those who are currious; I planted:
Corn: The sqirrles ate about half the corn seeds out of the ground before they could sprout. The stalks never got higher than about 5 feet and the ears were very small. I had one ear that had fully developed kernls but the ear was only a few inches long.
Tomatoes: 4 types, All did reasonable well.
Zuchinni (harvested 4 vegitables), Egg plant (3), Yellow crookneck (3), PattiPans (about 12), Lemon cuces (about 12).
Sweet pea pods and Bush beans (both did well)
2 kind of Lettuce (continuous crop, not too big leaves.)Radishes and carrots (did not develop well).
Strawberries: These just showed up. Squirrls ended eating the berries before I could pick them.
Currently I have all the leaves from the yard raked into the garden to provide weed control.
I think I'll ask my questions indiviually.
