Progress

Alas! My garden once again resembles a garden instead of a weed patch. Here is an after photo, after I cleaned up. It isn’t the most recent but my camera is on the fritz so it’s the best I can do right now. I’ve also included a photo of what is soon to be my tomato bed. I used 5 bails of straw shoved together. They’ve had roughly three weeks to cure with lots of rain to keep them soaked. As soon as my tomato seeds arrive I’ll sow them directly into the bails. I always have better results starting my tomatoes from seed directly in the garden.

Planted a lot of stuff yesterday;
Kale
Lettuce (green ice & lolla rossa)
Beets
Collards
Parsley
Cilantro
Dill
Spinach
Chinese cabbage
Tatsoi (Chinese greens)
Pak Choy
Broccoli

In another week or so I’ll plant beans, cucumbers, peppers and the rest of the warm weather veggies. Anyway, about two hours after I finished planting all those seeds we had a nice rain. How perfect is that for getting the garden off to a good start? Rain right after seeding or transplanting is always good news.

More later………………….
