Garden Plot 105 is looking up! We've
got weed blanket around the boarder this year to keep things easier to
maintain, a new trellis for the cucumbers and any squash we want to plant (they
grow better UP and with less mold!) and then the boxes for some new soil and
hopefully a better yield of peppers and tomatoes. There will also be
cilantro, rosemary, and basil. There will be lots of fresh salsa and gazpacho..can't
wait!!! Special thanks to my sweetie for helping to hammer away at the boxes
and trellis.
What
we're wondering today is, do we reinforce the boxes before we
fill them up? We think the soil may put extra strain on the boxes and so
it’s probably a good idea to get them reinforced before they get planted. The
water is flowing and on, and the planting has begun. So far, we have
cucumbers, onions, watermelon, cantaloupe, and peas are already sown. We
will likely get a jump on tomatoes and peppers by planting starters tomorrow.
