May 3, 2012



Put the tomato trellises up today
also built a small trellis in bed 1 for the snap peas and put up some posts in bed 2 for the snap peas there. wishing the snap peas were a row or two up so as not to shade the smaller tomatoes
harvested 2nd round of lettuce (first round this past Saturday April 29).
bought 4 more tomatoes, but didn't plant yet - a few of the existing look a bit yellow - got too cold for them in april? i clipped off the yellow leaves, but not sure if i should go head and replace those entire plants
potatoes, brocolli, bibb lettuce, snap peas all looking great
oninons - in 2 square, but only 2 or 3 look like they are alive.
squash/cukes starting to take hold
carrots starting to move along
spinach looks rough - think i should just skip that next year.

April 23, 2012

Pretty much everything is in the ground now.  Put tomatoes (17!) in last week.  Replaced 2 of the cukes and 2 yellow squash as they seemed to have some frost damage.  about ready to harvest lettuce.  you can almost watch the potatoes grow they are moving so fast.  need to get some sort of fencing up for snap peas soon.
