Garden Update
6/26/2012
Our garden has EXPLODED in the last week or so.
We
have more than a dozen heads of lettuce ready to harvest. Needless to
say, we've been eating salad with almost every meal. And we've shared a
lot of lettuce with neighbors as well. Our own suggestion to try next
year: stagger the plantings by a week or two and see if that will spread
out the harvesting so we're not eating lettuce constantly for 1 week
and then it's done. Better to make it last for several weeks, if we
can.
Our
sweet peas are doing very well. They are flowering and small pods have
formed. We've snitched a few, but they aren't big enough or sweet enough
to harvest yet.
We have a
small fence around the garden. It has been sufficient to keep bunnies
and other critters out of the garden, so far. Slugs are our biggest
enemy, eating holes in our lettuce.
Our beans have really shot up, but there's nothing to harvest yet.
Our corn will likely be knee-high by the 4th of July.
No pictures of the cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli or cantaloup but they all are coming along.

We haven't lost anything yet!

Lettuce is something that I keep planting, but doesn't seem to grow! I can't figure out why! But, our garden is exploding too, unfortunately so are the weeds :-)
