Day 35

My largest spinach plant
Everything is looking great so far.  I might add to my garden tomorrow, but I'm not sure we can retill the rest of it so soon.  We need to borrow a rototiller. 
I've been watering every day that it doesn't rain.  I hoed between rows and finally wedded near the plants today.  I accidentally pulled off a few spinach leaves and lettuce leaves while I worked but they tasted good.  My potatoes got fill dirt in the trenches today.  I also thinned out about a dozen green onions.  I brought some to my neighbor but she wasn't home so I'll probably bring them to church to share in the morning.  I checked my chart and everything is right on time including my patio herbs.
My losses are chili peppers and asparagus. 






The garden so far

Day 17

There's not a lot new to post yet.  I did hoe between rows today.  There were a bunch of little weeds so they had to go.  I still don't trust my seedlings' root system enough to weed to close to them.  When I go back to do the thinning of plants, I will weed the rows themselves.  I want a healthy garden.
The low weekend temp of 34 degrees F might have got a few of my black-eyed peas because a few are yellow. We did the hoeing and watering this morning and we continue to wait!
