Productive Weekend

In spite of time out for Mother’s day this was a productive weekend. Little fences were built for the cucumbers to climb. One whole row of stakes were put in for the peppers. The garden was sprayed with BT to eliminate the cabbage loopers and other villains. The pole beans, okra and winter squash were all heavily side dressed with compost. Another step in completed the fence on the eastern side of the garden was completed.

There is still a lot to do. The remaining squash, cucumbers, lima beans, broccoli and cabbage still need to be side dressed. The irrigation system and the fence need to be finished. There is still a lot of stuff to plant in the front yard. The grass cutting and compost turning go on ad- infinitem.

The greenhouse is empty of plants and will need to be cleaned up before starting the propagation cycle. All of the cups and flats need to be washed and disinfected. The heat pads need to be cleaned and some of the shelves need renovation.
