And the Rains Came

…
Finally it is raining. There were 1 ½ “ last Saturday. There was 1/10 of an inch Monday and last night we got ½”. This is making the garden and the weeds grow. The weeds are a product too. They go into the compost pile. The greens are growing so fast they could be picked every day. The squash is growing quicker than projected. Greens were planted on the edges of the squash beds. The squash will need that room soon.

Mammoth dill was planted this year because it can be sowed directly into the ground. The greenhouse dill has not done very well. The row where it was planted looked like it was sprouting grass. It was, but it was sprouting dill as well. The grass was in such a neat little row, that I decided to wait to pull it. Now the grass and the dill are both identifiable. The grass goes to the compost. The dill grows. It is still to small to take a recognizable picture.

The bay tree goes through stages of looking like it will really do well and looking like it is dying. The important factor has not been identified yet. The tree is still growing most of the time. Perhaps it needs less observation. The paw-paws are much more vigorous this year than last year. It will be great to find out what it really tastes like.
