Decided to do a container garden this year. Demolished the raised weed bed and got containers. Peppers and tomatoes mostly

That looks cool, and frankly, I’m a little envious, but doesn’t that involve a TON of watering? Even raised beds, if big enough, can hang onto water for a decent interval.

And btw, I hope you’ll post monthly updates. I’d love to see the changes through the season.

We’ve been slightly lamenting how little open are we have left…

It's shady half the day and I'm much more likely to water than weed

I have to say, holding a garden hose at the end of a long day with a cold sumthin in my hand is one of the great things about gardening.

I’ve got a potato plant growing in the compost heap.

Shows how bad I am about turning the compost!

I had compost bake potatoes last weekend. I told nobody where they came from and errbody was saying how good they were.

Here we are on May 31, and not a lightning bug in sight.

Anyone seeing them yet?

A plea once again to turn off your always-on nighttime outdoor lights from April through September or October.

He needs some lady friends, though. Turn off dem lights!

I've seen a few at night and a few crawling around inside the callas in daylight

 

[Tin Man]

Only LB I’ve seen was crawling on the porch screens during daylight hours. Cannot seem to stay awake for the dark of night.

 

[Tin Man]

My yard is lightening bug friendly.

You ditched all your other planting?

When your garden is finally seeded and rain looks wonderful for a change...

Got rid of the raised beds and reorganized errthang. I have just as many plants in the ground

Looks like a trend. What made you decide to do it?

We’re planning to do the same for next season.

It was just inefficient use of the space and difficult to take care of. I like things to look nice but I’m also lazy.

 

[Tin Man]

My wife has twice relocated and resized my allowed garden space. I’m sticking with what I’ve got.

Technically, you still have raised beds. Just a different choice of container.

Day 6 of having sown seed in the garden. 1 light watering on day 3, and one 45 minute rain yesterday. Corn plot #1 is up. Butter peas are coming up. Melons are coming up.
