My garden is weeping bc I'm SOOOOOO BEHIND!!!!
Rain, Rain, Rain, Work, Work, Work,...
Fortunately, after I planted my (4' x 13')okra bed last Saturday, it rained every day and most of them are up.
I planted about 7/8 of DH started from seed beefsteak tomatoes around the cement cistern. I dug out all offending dirt and replaced it with compost. I also threw in carrot and marigold seeds and many are up.
Went to start weeding the 2014 tomato and pepper beds (4 of those) and discovered two volunteer cherries right next to each WITH green fruit, each other 3 ft tall/long. I grabbed an old metal fence stake and staked/tied them to it. MIGHT have some tomatoes from them by the 4th ofJuly. There were two other volunteers equally as long, but when I pulled out a 4 ft. weed growing in the same spot I killed them. Oh, well.
I have two straight days in a row, Saturday and Sunday to get back on track. I'll try to take some pictures to share.
My composting beds have been very successful this year.
