The Camp Grows, and Some Treasure Found!

We've Expanded AGAIN!

Behind the camper, and screen porch, we've added a two room tent, one for each of the girls!


I spent my morning, outside, checking on the tent. Last night was the first night for the tent and of course, high winds and rains hit. The tent (and my kids) fared well. I've run some electrical out to the tent and added a string of lights for the tent, plus the kids can plug in and charge their devices overnight, and listen to some music. Naturally, the storm had other ideas and knocked out power.


The garden, too!


Above: Tigerella coming soon! Note, the tomato are still trying to catch up on watering, since the drought. Uneven watering is why they cracked.
Below: More Tigerella tomato, and notice the Cucumber tendril latching on?

Yellow Pear Tomato


Above: Harvest: 2 Tigerella, a Blueberry Cherry, Sweetie Cherry, few white Cherry, and some Yellow Pear Tomato


BEACH TREASURES:

Walk along the beach, and you will find LOT'S Of Treasure!

These little creatures are called Sand Dollars!
They are related to sea urchins, and in Marine Biology, they are Dendraster excentricus, of the same order as Sea Urchins: Clypeasteroida. When they are alive, they're the same colour as sand, and when dead, we dry them, and eventually, they bleach and turn bright white (a few more days from now!) One of many cool things we find along the beaches where we live.

Gardening To DO:

  • WATER, water, water... I need to get the gardens caught up after drought. The Cucumbers should really pop now, and the weather is cooler and the watering is easier to keep up with.
  • At the Cape Garden, I will try some Lettuces, to grown now that weather is cooler.
LOTS More to come, from my Camper, and GroVid22 Gardens!

Nice harvest! we are still stacking zuchinni, cucumbers and tomatoes here. Technically the tomatoes don't stack up as they get eaten pretty quickly lol I think you have grown from a camp site to a compound 😁 Rain sucks in tents but then again rain is very cool in tents. Makes memories.

The big garden back home is growing zucchini, cucumber, onion, TONS of Tomato, and many more Veg!
Here, at the camper, I only have 6 tomato and 1 cucumber

I grew up in this camp ground, decades ago, every summer as a kid. My brother and I staying in an 8x10 tent, while mom and dad had the trailer. I remember the nights and sounds of rains, on the tent roof.

Nothing like freshly picked tomatoes. I always loved the smell of the vines, too.

That scent of the vines and fresh picked. After tending to tomato plants, your fingers have that fresh tomato scent.

Those tomatoes made me remember how I made breakfast with chilli pepper and tomatoes and eggs.
I think you practically live in a place where you learned what most young people of this generation don't take I to consideration.
I would love to learn tent making if the opportunity comes.

Great to see an update, indeed the tomatoes are getting used to watering. But looking good overall.
Thanks for sharing.

GroVid came about becuase in 2020 DEEP into the beginnings of the pandemic, @dreemsteem tried to help us all focus on something Positive, rather than CoVid19. thus, the original Grovid20

For me, year three of writing about my Gardens

Hello!

I saw your new Part 3 and then got distracted...

Are you on the go permanently or camping here? Did you manage to extricate yourself from mainstream society? What the deal!?? 😁

I keep this Camper all year round... although, we can only camp here April 1st thru Nov 1st
We love this town, and spend as much as we can here. I have cousins, and my kids cousins, and aunts and uncles here, too
