What's growing

The tomatoes are looking great. One row are all from HD. The other row are the ones I grew from seed except for one or two that came up from last year. I labeled all the peat pots, but over the weeks before planting it got difficult to read them. Here are my best guess as to what is in the last three rows:

I met Mr. Baker again. We had forgotten each other's name so we reintroduced ourselves and he offered me some squash. His plot is behind Caroline and Greg's. His corn is almost ready to harvest (jealous)👺. 
I did take a couple of squash and zucchini and if he offers corn in a couple of weeks, I'll take that too. 
I got the sign in the ground today and brought home a couple of fists full of snow peas and a handful of green pea. 

The tomatoes look very healthy and most have multiple blossoms. Lady peas are so easy and are about 8" tall.  This week I'll be working on watering and weeding.

A full day's work

The beautiful sun was out all day. The morning temp in the low 60's made a full day at the garden a real treat. I was there from 8:30-3:00 with a quick lunch break at Burger King. I tilled the entire plot then hand weeded the corn (again), the tomatoes, squash and most of the peas. The water was off so I couldn't soak in the fertilizer. It can keep a couple of days.

Let the wild harvesting begin!


So hhappy to be at my HHappy Place today! Really need to get my sign out there. It has been eleven days since I've been out to SFCG because of work + all the rain. So glad to see nearly everything thriving. That of course included the grasses and weeds. However, I hand weeded the four rows of corn then got some triple 13 down on them. Also, planted the gypsy pepper, cantaloupe and honeydew plants. One good thing about the the cool, wet weather is the snow peas are putting on quite a show. Also the romaine lettuces are heading nicely, onions are thickening up and I got our first tomato--a Sun Sugar cherry yellow.   The mystery squash/pumpkin is flowering and more rogue tomato plants are popping up.
