Super Big Hugs

Big, big thank yous to RJ and Joe for their mad grass-hacking skills!  RJ actually rolled her mower all the way to the Urban Carrot to cut our picnic area grass, and Joe borrowed a weedeater from his folks in order to clear the pathways that had become choked with weeds.  

The shaggy garden is now the well-trimmed garden thanks to these two.

Supa big hugs!

Few and Far Between

My garden posts have been woefully few and far between since I've spent the last several months computer-less. I am currently mooching from a friend to post this.

I have many photos to share of the progress this year as soon as I can get a computer long enough to upload them.

Today, I simply wanted to share that the garden looks shaggily beautiful. We could definitely use some sort of grass-controlling device to help maintain the area around the beds. I weeded two beds, turned dirt in one, and Joe helped me put up a lattice around the tomatoes. I have another lattice, but I'm not sure how the lattice will work, so I figured I wouldn't put it up till I consulted with the other girls. I actually thought I was buying plain old twine.

The girls and I may decide to take it down-- it looked like someone already caged the tomatoes pretty well.

I bought two seed packets for cukes; hope to plant them tomorrow. I got a Tendersweet burpless variety and a "Pickle Bush" which is supposed to be good for small spaces.

I guess after that, the last thing I'll put in for awhile will be my Jubilee tomatoes.

I took a couple of Anaheim pepper plants and a tomato plant home to try in containers.

love.
