Although it is not as nice as looking at my own garden, looking at any garden is fun. Sunday, I looked at Jane’s raised bed. Her tomatoes are blooming. Today, I walked past Charlie’s little garden. His tomatoes are knee high and blooming. His squash are filling out well. He told me Saturday that a weed did not have a chance in his garden. He is right so far. I haven’t seen Michael’s garden lately, but he say’s that he has green tomatoes already.
My garden is doing well too. The greens and salad stuff are especially prolific. The arugala is bolting; but there is plenty of other stuff. The tomatoes don’t have blossoms yet; but they are dark green and healthy and getting tall. The squash is getting really big, the corn is knee high. The cucumbers and beans are ready to start running. The watermelons and cantaloupes are so prolific they will have to be thinned.
Yesterday brought .4” of rain. Mulching has begun. If we have another dry year, that will save a lot of water. It will also keep the weeds down and add organic matter to the soil and make a nice habitat for earthworms. Today everything will be sprayed with either pepper spray or BT.
