Garden 2008
The second year garden has a head of steam on it and seems to be doing quite well. I already have two crops grown, eaten, and done. Check out this year’s sowing:
- eggplant
- watermelon
- squash (two varieties)
- cucumber (for pickling)
- potatoes
- peas
- bush beans
- bok choy
- cabbage
- tomatoes (6 varieties – pig pen, josephine, early girl, cherry, …)
- corn
- lettuce (mescaline and butter crunch)
- broccoli
- beets
- radishes
- carrots
- onion
- garlic
- hot peppers (3 varieties)
- Jerusalem artichoke
- strawberry
- sunflower seeds
- basil
- cilantro (failed)
- spearmint
- pumpkin
I also have two nice flower beds and a third area beneath my sunflowers where I put some annuals.
The potatoes are going bonkers. The peas and cilantro are not going to make it, I think. My mescaline and radishes are already done for the season. I have also eaten some beets (two, the bulb and the greens), a strawberry, and some basil. I am not sure when the rest will bear for me.Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I have been watering with an occasional treat of worm compost tea.
