But that’s a good thing, as our friend Heather is saving my life by weeding in the hoop house, among our sweet peppers, which were overcome by Lamb’s Quarter weeds. In there, it’s not raining, and it is warmer than outside. Thank God for good friends! Getting down to weed is the bane of my existence right now. I can almost get down onto my five-gallon bucket seat. Just lack about two inches more. I’m working on that daily!
Will and I got the last of the tomatoes staked and caged. We were short of cages (imagine that!), so I pulled the tall cages from the determinate tomatoes and Will cut them in half to gain enough. Just perfect!
I got the cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower planted in the Main Garden, as well as two rows of carrots. I also re-planted the carrots and Marrowfat beans in the Wolf Garden as they hadn’t germinated well. Carrots, not at all. Spots of the Central, North, and Wolf Gardens are way too wet, due to all the rain lately so I’m sure I’ll be tilling and replanting the corn that was in there. The weeds are doing great though.
Our flowers are doing so nice this year, both the peonies and iris. They sure make every day a little brighter. — Jackie
