We planted bush beans and chard seed today. I also noticed
some tomato volunteers popping up so I moved them around into a neater
formation than they had chosen for themselves. Perhaps we’ll get some more tomatoes
from them. The plants these came from were volunteers in my home garden last
year, so this is the third year we’ll be getting tomatoes from the original
seedlings I bought.
At home, there is much work to do and I just might go out
and work in the rain this afternoon too. The weeds are doing quite well with
all this rain and my garden is being overtaken quickly. I bought some seeds for
pickling cukes as I’d like to learn how to make my grandmother’s bread and
butter pickles this fall.
Above is a photo of the garden in the rain today. In the
foreground are the peppers we planted last week, followed by eggplant, then two
rows of chard, two rows of lettuce, bush beans, the tomato patch, and more bush beans. I think that
about fills up our community garden plot for this year if everything comes up.
Soon, I'm hoping to share some photographs of my climbing roses. I noticed today they are about ready to burst into bloom. I can't wait!
What is going on in your garden?
