Garden 2008 is finally in
Once the rain stopped for more than a day at a time, I was finally able to get the garden planted with some help from mom and dad. The final layout is as follows, and is constructed of raised beds within the larger bed which is handy for keeping things organized. Tomatoes aren't labeled on the diagram yet, but there are roughly 11 varieties this year:
Here's how the garden looks in real life:
Some major trimming around the perimeter was done shortly after this was taken, and the garden is a little further along now. With a few more days of warm weather hopefully I'll have more to report on.Tomatoes, Potatoes, Onions, Hot Peppers, Squash, Celery and Radishes are doing well so far (fingers crossed).
Lettuce and beans are spotty (I re-seeded some bare spots today), but I think once it gets warmer, things will start to grow. Something is eatting the Chinese Green Tatsoi that I planted. I sprayed with insecticidal soap, but don't want to do too much - I'd rather stick to more resistant varieties than get into the chemicals too much.
Carrots are a disaster again - I re-seeded tonight and will pay close attention to watering over the next weeks while they germinate. Cucumbers weren't much better - only 2 plants came up, so my mom and dad nicely bought me some more at C.T. Next year I will start them inside a few weeks early to get them nice and strong before they go outside.
