Corn was planted on Saturday. I planted three 15-foot rows, and I'll do three more rows in a couple weeks. I planted several varieties of cucumbers (bush and trellising), hoping to have better luck than last year. I also planted my beans & southern peas last Thursday. The garden is just waiting to explode with green!
The potatoes are doing pretty well - odd though. Some are HUGE and some are very tiny. They'll come up, eventually. Patience is a heck of a virtue when gardening. So is weeding, lol.
The strawberries are doing well, also, but I was hoping they'd be a little further along than they are. Part of that is likely due to lack of rain. It hasn't rained here in over a month and a half. I'm hoping to pick up some soaker hose on Friday, and rig up a watering system.
Last Saturday I was at Home Depot, strolling through the pepper/tomato plants, and I got to thinking "isn't it too early to plant?" After looking at the weather, I now realize that we had a very early last-freeze-date this year, which is great. Hopefully that doesn't mean we're going to smash heat records this summer, though.
As I mentioned in my previous post, things have been a blur of insanity lately. I wish I could get back to reading some books, that I've started and haven't finished. Seems like every time I get going, something comes up at work, or home, or elsewhere. :-\
Either way, I'm glad to be able to have the time I do to spend in the garden. So peaceful and eases a lot of stress.
