Open for gardening

May 9, 2009 1 min to read

I managed to get into the garden today. Work and the weather and the kids all lined up to let me get something done. Massive weeding (at least 3 hours worth), got the trellis for the peas up, and built up the tater mounds.

All the seedlings that were still needing to be planted died. So the Garden of Eatin’ now only has some onions (what’s left after the kids’ destruction), peas, green beans, 2 cabbage (had 20, the kids got to all the others), carrots, lettuce, spinach, and potatoes.

The pickles, squashes, tomatoes, celery, green peppers, herbs, and more, are no more. I’m considering getting tomato plants but not sure if finances will allow it, or if it’s a good idea where I’m so limited on time. I really want to make salsa again this year.
