My 2014 Garden Experiment
If you've been around Pig In Mud for a while you know of my gardening battles with the rabbits (example: Chernobyl HERE) and I've spared you the saga with the squirrels/birds/slugs/squash beetles... Let's just say, nature in general has not been kind to this backyard veggie lover. So this year I've decided to try something... easier. This pot is 18" across and 18" tall, if the rabbits get into it, well, they just need the plants more than I do:@) That's a 6' trellis that Y's out at the top for the beans and cukes.
From left to right: Husky Cherry Tomato, pole green beans around the left side of the trellis (seeds aren't up yet), pickling cucumbers and a jalapeno~anyone surprised??? Got all of these beauties planted on an 80 degree day right before some substantial rain... They should be settled in and happy-happy.
Happy Mother's Day everyone-Have a happy day:@)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Lynn, because your potted veggie garden looks wonderful. I look forward to the progress and hoping those bunnies can't hop that far. I've had succulents in baskets on the fence that I guess squirrels are taking chunks of. Frustrating!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you and your Ma.
Wishing you great luck with your little veggie garden!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Squirrels are the bane to my flower pots though, every time I plant something, they get in there and dig it up, hiding their nuts or something. I have to plant stuff that grows really fast and covers the pot before they can get in there! I am about to do an indoor herb garden and give up! Hope yours works!

i hope the pot garden works well for you! although, i'm thinking you need a bunch of them! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Wishing you much veggie success. And have a happy Mother's Day. xo
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea and I wish you great success. I do a lot of container gardening too, in our case, it is because of the gophers. I hope you have outwitted your rabbit foes.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Yep, we have the problem with critters in the garden, too. Somehow, we manage to keep some for ourselves. ;) Happy Mother's Day. :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by to wish you a Happy Mother's Day! Good luck with your garden experiment.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the garden pot. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed and good luck with the bunnies. Those guys can be pretty persistent. We have trouble with deer eating our azaleas. Just heard they don't like garlic, so bring on the garlic powder. Maybe there' something bunnies don't like...
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Lynn.

Happy Mother's Day, Lynn! Good luck with your garden planter!
ReplyDeleteYou've foiled the bunnies Lynn, I hope your veggies are happy and thrive in your pot :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you much luck with this kind of gardening... it should keep the rabbits out. We planted strawberries in the garden this year.... will be interesting to see if any critters get to them before we humans do. LOL
ReplyDeleteHope it works for you. I have several things as such in pots too. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
