3 full days off with Steve ready on the shovel, we began planting. Steve dug all the holes for 48 tomato plants and I placed and covered them. We also got 24 squash plants in and I transplanted 4 broccoli plants that needed more room.
Everything is in now except the seeds for the sunflowers. I have to pick some up this week.
Steve dug draining trenches on the edges of the garden, because we needed a bit more drainage in the center of the garden.
I have lots of cultivating to do this week in the potato area and beans. Lots of grass is already popping up.
Picked 2 pounds of asparagus, we are now getting about a pound every two days. Lots of lettuce and the Swiss Chard just keeps on giving. I picked about a pound of carrots, they were leftovers from the winter planting.
Steve was highly motivated this past weekend, he pulled up the wall-to-wall carpet in the office and is going to install new hardwood flooring. I can hear the house saying "thank you". We need to get it done before June 8th though. Will and Lexi are coming to visit.
