Elliott's Summer Garden July 22 2013

               Hello everyone this is Ken & Marilou with you here today on our garden blog, Garden The Easy Way, we have a new update to share with you today, some pictures and information about growing your garden in hot summer weather.

               To see a lot of garden pictures, we invite you to join our facebook page, just do search for Ken Elliott at Rogersville Missouri, and thank you for joining us and please share us with all of your friends on facebook.

               Nothing taste as good fresh garden vegetables, yesterday my wife Marilou picked some green beans out of our garden and she cooked them for suffer, and they were so delicious, we also had some fresh garden cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. I told my wife Marilou we couldn't had a better supper  if we would of went to a big city restaurant, Marilou put  ground pork meat in a green beans stir fry.

              Also I would like to add one other thing about garden vegetables, not only are they so delicious but they are very healthy for you, we all should be eating our vegetables for our health, fresher vegetables are better vegetables, another good reason to raise your own garden, let us help you make and plant and grow your vegetables here on Garden The Easy Way, all the information you will need is right here on Garden The Easy Way, and also we have lots of pictures from start to harvest.

              OK now for your tip in how to grow your garden in hot summer heat, first of all I would like to say, I've been gardening for over 45 years, and don't do like a lot of gardening books tell you to do, Do Not water your garden in the morning on a hot ,the hot summer sun can burn your leaves on your plants and in time it will kill your plants, it is always better to water all your garden 1 hour after sun down to be safe. Also when it's really hot 95 to 100 plus it is always good ideal to make a afternoon shade for your garden, don't worry it sound like a lot of work but it is quick and easy to do, we will show you how in our garden blog.

               Morning sunshine is so important to any garden, but after 2 o clock your garden has had enough sun, and your garden starts to stress out, the leaves on the plants will start wilting and lay down, specially when it gets really hot like I said 95 to 100 plus is a garden killer, we build a frame out of light wood, and plastic tarps to block the sun, only when it gets extremely hot.

               Well this is Ken & Marilou signing off here for today on Garden The Easy Way, hope to see you all on facebook, and we hope you will join our garden blog too. Until next time happy gardening always !

 

Garden Harvesting In The Fall 2012

                   Welcome back here today on Garden The Easy Way, this is Ken and Marilou Elliott. Today we would like to talk about your fall harvest in your garden, the first garden vegetable we are going to talk about is the Butternut Squash.  Butternut Squash is called a winter squash, and they are so delicious, and can be prepared in many different ways. Butternut Squash is very healthy for us to eat, and high in fiber. Like I said before in our garden blog, not only are the vegetables good for us, when you raise your own garden you will save a lot of money for you and your family.

                    OK, how you can tell when it is time to harvest your Butternut Squash, it is when the vine start changing colors from the pretty bright green you seen all summer long to a brown color. You will need to wait until the vine look like it has died to get all that good flavor of the butternut squash. Make sure to cut the vine 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the  butternut squash, and then your butternut squash will last all winter long. Just store your butternut squash in a cool dry place, not too hot or too cold about 50 to 70 degrees is best or room temperature will be fine.

Fresh Garden Vegetables

              Good day to you all, and welcome back here today on Garden The Easy Way.  

              So very hot here today we had over 20 days in a row with high heat from 99 to 103, we are 10 inches down from rain fall, we have been in a severe drought. I feel so bad for all our farmers, so many of them have to sell their cattle because they are not getting any rain on the pasture so the grass can grow for the cattle to eat, so many farmer have to sell their cattle because the hay is so high cost to buy. So please join us in a prayer for rain, to help save the farmer. ( When the farmer hurts we all will on down the line later.)

                 This year Marilou and I decided we would share our pictures of our garden as it grow from month to month, WOW ! even we were a little amaze what a very big difference 3-4 weeks make in the growing of a garden. There is nothing in this world that taste as good as your very own fresh garden vegetables, they are so delicious, so much better than store bought. When you buy from a store the fruit and vegetables are picked green or too early, with your garden you do not pick early, you wait until it is ready. Tomatoes should be picked when they are dark red not green and shipped in.        

                We also have a lot of garden information on how to make a vegetable garden and how to make a flower garden, and how to grow beautiful roses. Marilou and I share with you in our Garden The Easy Way blog some very delicious home recipes, we would like to say a big Thank You out to Mr. Paul Schneider of St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Schneider said he loved our Home Made Blackberry Pie Recipe.    

                Well, that is it here for today on Garden The Easy Way, until next time this is Ken and Marilou, wishing you all Happy Gardening Always.

Garden The Easy Way ( To Save Your Garden From The Hot Sun And Heat )

              Good  afternoon to you all, this is June 28 Thursday afternoon, but the way the weather feels you would think it is August 28, it is so hot and dry here, no rain for over 2 weeks. We would like to welcome you all back here today on Garden The Easy Way.      

              Today we have something very important to share with you all on how to save your garden from the hot sun and heat.  

               "WOW" ! very hot here today, 101 new record temperature here in Rogersville, Mo. As most of you know so many people lose their garden due to the hot summer heat every year, well we have some good news you can save your garden with just a little work, and a few things to do, and what not to do. I have been gardening for over 40 years and I can help you.

1. Build a frame out of 8-ft boards 1x4 wood, and hang up a tarp on one side to keep the hot sun off your garden in the hot afternoon.  

2.  After the weather gets over 85 degrees ( NEVER ) water your garden in the morning or during the day. I know lots of gardening books would tell you watering in the morning is best, but after the weather gets over 85 degrees stop watering your garden in the morning. If you do water in the morning or during the day, you could kill your garden. Always after the temperature get to 85 degrees or more water your garden 1 hour after sun down.
