The DIY chocolate attempt took a lot longer to solidify than I thought it would, but I have little chocolate bars.

Today, we planted roughly 129 tomato plants, 7 tomatillo plants, and 11 pepper plants in the buckets. We had 9 buckets left over, so I planted 3 varieties of winter squash in 5 buckets and 3 varieties of cucumbers in 4 buckers as an experiment. Still have 4 trays of flowers to go.
5 gallon buckets planted with tomatoes situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers, situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with peppers and seeds situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with seeds, situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy

I can put 5 more trays on this set of shelves, and then I'll have to go to the upstairs set. Which means I have to finish cleaning the stuff off of the upstairs set.

Well, Mom and I got the plastic stripped off the raised bed parts and removed the drip lines in the garden where they are going to be. Then I got them put together for assembly down at the garden when I have someone to hold the pieces up or I have to drag a bunch of chairs to the garden.

After getting the 149 tomato plants repotted and in the half-assed greenhouse, we got the leek plants and 2/3 of the shallot plants from Dixondale in the new raised beds. My rhubarb is happy with all the rain.

8 pints of the Pickled Three Bean Salad from So Easy to Preserve except I used Hungarian Hot Wax peppers instead of bell peppers because I had a lot, and it'll give it at little kick. Also, more beans I canned yesterday.
5 quarts of green beans and 1 quart of yellow wax beans with a few green beans thrown in. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy #gardeners #greenbeans #waxbeans #HungarianHotWax #CanningSeason 8 pints of Pickled Three Bean Salad #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy #gardeners #greenbeans #waxbeans #HungarianHotWax #CanningSeason

Today, we weeded the pots, added composted cow manure and fertilizer, blended it with the drill auger bit, and got the tonato cages in each bucket. Tomorrow, we will plant tomato, tomatillo, and pepper plants in the pots, and I may plant some experiments with seeds with whatever buckets are left.
