God is watering for me this morning, so I have a chance to catch up on the laundry, blogs, dusting, and a nap!
This year, we have tomato trees and Tom's large tomato planted against the 4x4 posts for support. In the remaining beds, there is an assortment of flowers for pollinators and, hopefully, the cutting garden. And there might be an elephant ear thrown in there.
Tomatoes, basil, and strawberries fill out this bed.
Three kinds of peppers and two kinds of radishes seem to be good raised bed mates.
Two zucchini plants are producing, and one is still thinking about it. The longneck yellow squash we had to replant is doing amazing. Soon it will be time to prune some out to give the healthier, bigger ones room to grow...I dislike that part. I want them all to be able to grow.
The cucumbers are slowly coming along. I planted a row one week, and another row of plants a week later, and then sometime later I planted seeds, so we should get cucumbers the rest of the summer as soon as it is time to pick. We should be able to harvest three different varieties.
They are almost to the top of the trellis, ready to come over.
Seems like we are way behind last year. The weather and our schedules have put a little bump in the road.
But yesterday we planted another bed of potatoes and a bed of beans.
Now I get to go back to the never, ever, ending job of weeding. We are going to have the best compost in a year or two!
