First week in june 2013



The garden is coming together finally.  At first I thought " what did I get myself into?  why did I make it so big"

There is still a lot of work to do.

Sweet potatoes need to be planted, I am just waiting for the slips to grow roots, then they will be planted.

The bamboo tripods need to have new lashing.

A few small trouble spots have to be taken care of.  These  have grass growing.  I will cover these areas with newspaper and hay or grass clipping to kill the grass, much the same as I do when preparing a new addition to the garden.

Speaking of adding on to the garden.  I have decided to go either another 10 feet towards the road (the side at the bottom of the picture) or another 5 feet along the longer side at the back of the garden (the long side on the left of the picture). 

The new addition would accommodate more greens, carrots, broccoli and brussels sprouts.
