Garden 2024

[Slippy]

Because the mega hospital decided to get rid of older, experienced, expensive doctors, I had to move my knee replacement from fall to June 17 before my surgeon was retired. So now I’m laid up and my garden is coming on. And of course now we have a record heat wave. The wife is a trooper and has taken over garden duty. Watering every day and harvesting broccoli and cauliflower. She’s been blanching and freezing it. Blueberries are coming soon and peach trees desperately need thinning. I’m hoping to salvage most of the garden produce this year, but I’m thinking that garden chores and canning are going to be painful this year.

Chief;

Get un-laid up! And get un-laid up NOW DAMNIT!

MOVE THAT KNEE!

Slip! I’m pushing it hard! But at 73 I don’t heal so fast. My first knee replacement didn’t turn out so well. Trying to do better this time around. I’m doing everything the PT folks tell me to.

I aim to expand my vegetable patch. Last year's harvest was decent, but I'm eager to experiment with some new varieties this time around. I've been eyeing a few heirloom tomato varieties that look promising, and I'm also considering trying my hand at growing some exotic herbs like mint and lemongrass.

Aside from planting, I want to add to my garden new furniture. We have some plastic chairs and an old wood table, and that's it. I want something that blends with the surroundings but also offers comfort for those lazy afternoons spent lounging in the garden. Rattan furniture seems like a good choice, but I'm not sure. Something like this: https://www.gardencentreshopping.co....natural-rattan. I'm still weighing other possibilities, as well. Like wood. Any tips from you guys?

Wait..... you edit your post from the other day at 4am this morning and you add a link for garden furniture with a euro price tag? Guess your not really from New York are you!
