The Garden Chronicles

It has been a slow and late start to getting the garden in this year – which may be an indirect blessing with early cool and wet weather.  Nevertheless, I’m not in a rush anyways as veggies are gonna grow on their own schedule depending on the summer temps and rainfall. 

 

 

 

 

In any event, everything that’s planned for this year is in or has had its first sowing.  With the first row up and at’em, green beans got a second sowing a couple of days ago. 

 

I was concerned about the German Butter Ball spuds getting drowned in the monsoons of a couple of weeks ago but they’ve peeked from the depths and got another layer of dirt over their trench today.  The Kakai pumpkins remain a concern with only one seed germinating – so a second sowing was performed on Friday. 

 

Fingers-crossed.  Peas and tomatoes are looking good and the broccoli is very happy behind its border fence.  No rabbits allowed.  Stay-tuned for periodic updates. 

 

 



Vive le jardin magnifique!
