It’s hard to believe this garden has been in the ground for a month now. The weeds are taking over the garden and the plants don’t seem to want to grow. It’s pretty frustrating. I think it’s time we pull some weeds, fertilize, and start thinning some of the radish, carrot, turnip, and leek rows.<\/p>\n

We keep talking about planting peas and potatoes, but we haven’t gotten around to either of those yet. Maybe we’ll do the potatoes when we start weeding this week? Time will tell.<\/p>\n

Weedy Garden – June 12, 2008<\/strong>

Black Manuka – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
One of the bright spots this week is the addition of 3 grape plants along the back fence. Charmaine picked up 3 different kinds, but I only remember the name of this one… the Black Manuka.
\"\"<\/p>\n

Corn Row 1 – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The first row of corn continues to do well, but you can see the weeds are doing even better
\"\"<\/p>\n

Radishes – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
It’s obvious now that I planted about 80 feet of radishes in about 6 feet of space
\"\"<\/p>\n

Turnips – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The turnips need to be thinned as well
\"\"<\/p>\n

Beets – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The beets need to be thinned as well
\"\"<\/p>\n

Carrots – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The weeds are getting so big and so numerous that it’s hard to tell there are any carrots here at all
\"\"<\/p>\n

Cucumbers – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The row of cucumbers is doing nicely. The grass clippings along side it seem to be keeping the weeds at bay.
\"\"<\/p>\n

Peppers and Brussels Sprouts – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The peppers and Brussels sprouts starts made it through the wind and the cold
\"\"<\/p>\n

Green Onions – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The two small rows of green onions at the front of the garden are doing well
\"\"<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Hills – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
The seven hills of pumpkins, which were planted earlier than anything else in the entire garden, are still failing to impress me, but I’m not giving up on them just yet.
\"\"<\/p>\n

Blackberry – June 12, 2008<\/strong>
We may not have a way to water the blackberry bush, and it may be tiny for a few more years, but it looks like we’ll get at least a couple berries this year anyway.
