As usual, the weeds are tryin’ to take over the place. I’ve been pullin’ weeds daily. The weeds that are actually in the bed are not too pervasive, it’s the ones around the cinderblock and in them. We’ve got 3 different varieties that are thriving. fortunately they pull out fairly easily, it’s just a matter of catching up on it.
Tomatoes are coming along, lots on the vine but none are ripe yet.
Squash is producing pretty well. I expect to be over run with squash in about a week or two, and then it’ll be done. This one is a volunteer that just started making flowers.
Purple beans are producing. The mysterious Asian long beans are making a really pretty vine, but no beans yet. Green beans are just starting to produce, we’ll have some with dinner tonight.
We pulled up the pintos and planted more green beans in their place. Hubs and I didn’t like the flavor of the pintos. The kids thought they were alright.
Cukes and cantelope aren’t producing yet.
Peppers haven’t set any fruit yet.
Onions are growing.
Herbs are thriving. Lemon Balm will someday take over the world. I wish the mint were as aggressive.
The secret of the organic method is compost. I’m so glad that Tex and Hank are strong enough to turn the compost piles now. We are the largest family on our street and the only ones whose trash can isn’t full at the end of the pick-up cycle. Love that compost!
