Garden Update

By now, of course, the garden is a huge, weedy jungle! But here are some catch-up photos... The garden on June 6th: strawberries, newly-transplanted tomatoes, brassicas, potatoes, beans.



The potatoes are all taking the pest problems differently. Some varieties have been hit very hard, while others seem almost untouched.


That's our broccoli up there in the blue, with onions behind it.


We were lucky enough to get an afternoon's help from twin garden elves! Thanks, Josh and Mitch! Come back soon!

With their help we planted winter and summer squash, melons, and cukes.


Below is a row of squash mounds. For these we pile up a lot of brush, water it down, and make pockets of compost in it. The baby squash are transplanted into the pockets and and climb down the hills as they grow.

  1. When are you going have Dave build that Star-Trek human molecule transfer unit so that we can come down there and help you weed?
    Looks great! Mom
