Vegetables are growing, so are the weeds
Cumber, watermelon, corn, and pumpkins are all doing well. I did plant pumpkins way too soon. They will be ready in Sept. Oh well live and learn.
Grapevine and Muscadine update
Every week they need to be trained to the wire. Purchased a great taping tool that makes the training quick. No issues with blackrot or other fungus yet, and no bugs yet.
Garden is growing
I spend most of time out of town so the weeds are starting to take over. Not much I can do, no time to weed.
Best sound – rain on a tin roof
You’ve got to love this sound! Rain beating down on tin roof of the log cabin.
Better view of first grapes
Just before I snubbed them out. It will only make the vines and roots stronger to not let them set this year. Still cool looking don’t you think? I can grow grapes!
Check them out, they are stretching upward
So far so good. Everything I planted is coming up…
Planting day
Planted today. With a little luck we will have some watermelon, and pumpkins and cucumbers.
They are alive!
The grapevines and muscadines are alive and growing well. First cluster of grapes. Shame I have to pinch off. Can’t let them grow the first two years.
New label for corn whisky wine
Didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. I used the wrong yeast. Should have finished up with an ABV of 18% but stalled at 14% so it ended up sweet. I’ll try again next year. Still taste good, so I’ve been told. I heard it helped some friends through a tough weekend wedding party.
Planted Grapevines today
The Lomanto and Black Spanish grape vines came in this week. 9 of each. Just enough to test them out and see if this is what I want to grow. Once in the ground I put some grow tubes on them like the Muscadines. They help them grow faster and keep animals off the young shoots.
