The garden has been a little neglected lately. "Oh, I'll get more dirt this weekend." or "I'll plant my starts next week." Linda finally stopped asking me at work when I was going to put my plants in.
Well, I finally got my act together. With Linda's help, I got some more mulch to top off my beds--we managed to complete this task while getting completely soaked and muddy from head to toe-- and I finally paid a visit to the plant store for my starts.
And, on Tuesday morning, I finally got them in the ground. Bed #1: strawberries, shallots, green onions, leaf lettuce, spinach, romaine lettuce and broccoli. Bed #2: snap peas, green beans, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, green bell peppers, poblano peppers, habanero peppers, jalapeno peppers and okra. My own little farmer's market.
The weather has been horrendous since then-- temps in the 50's and sporadic downpours-- so I'm not exactly sure if they are actually growing, but at least they are in the beds. Plus, the deer fence seems to be working. So if I could just put in an order for a week of sunshine and 80 degree temps, that would be great. Please and thank you.
