Our garden is growing! Its not like we could eat out of our yard, but we are doing so much better then last year
Check out the corn in the back box! We should have tassels soon! The lettuce is looking good and I think we need a salad soon. We have a small handful of beans, with more on the way. We are even still getting a few peas. The zucchini and Summer squash are starting to flower, so we should be eating those soon. Our blue potato is starting to flower, but the others are still growing as much as the bugs will let them. We also have the beginnings of tomatoes.
The carrots, especially the purple variety doesn't seem to want to grow so much.
We are also making great progress on the flag corner project. The first half is more or less done and the strawberrys and wildflowers are growing.
We are finaly ready to start putting the second half together. We have removed all the weeds and tilled in some "Church Mix" This is puffed shell with compost mixed in. It is supposed to be great for our clay soil. It is called Church Mix becouse this is what the plants on the top of the LDS church conference center are growing in.
I plan to put in two more path sections, some more wildflowers, strawberrys and some desert stuff like banana yucca and red hot poker.
Yes our park stirps look horrible, we know. That is a project for another year.
