Update with Straw Bale Garden 7-30-24

[@FloridaGirl-]

With gardening you are always learning. And slowly the garden grows and expands. I think you garden looks pretty good for going on thee yrs. I been doing it for about 44 yrs. You have it nice and neat too.

Your garden is great! I appreciate the hard work that goes into the prep work just to get a garden going. This is our 4th year and we have learned, every year is different. Feel blessed for what you are given each year.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Yes every year is surely different. You're very kind! Even though my tomato's are great this season I feel lucky to still have lot's of other productive garden goods.

Garden is looking nice, nice harvest. I think the pooch has the right idea, find a corner and relax ; )

I grow in bales too. It's definitely a learning curve but I live in SW and we have no ground, only rock so I had to go to bales. I'm getting it figured out.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

It was a total experiment but that is working better than my in ground garden. I will continue doing it. Thanks for the comment!

It's looking great, Michael. I love that idea of using cups to keep those pill bugs from eating them. I am totally going to give that a shot.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Funny thing one morning I went into my straw bale garden and all the cups were strewn all over the place. I have 1 ground hog that lives in the forest at the bottom edge of my property. There's a huge hole where he lives. So far he's never been a garden problem but I suspect that was him. Fingers crossed he doesn't start up.

@@MichaelJosephJr934 I hope not. Critters like that can be such a nuisance.
