A Two Day Summary (with Pictures!)
May. 28th, 2010 05:01 pmI... don't actually know where to start. Um, let's start with the tomatoes as yesterday was re-planting day. Ten (uh, I think) from the original planting were left in place, four were rescued from the compost pile, another 25 plants came from The Anderson's, and D brought home eleven. You may notice that those numbers add up to more than 40. I ended up commandeering the row that had been designated for peppers and turned it into an additional row for tomatoes so I now have 50 tomato plants. Oops?
D helped and it went speedily as he loosened the soil and mixed in manure for me. Today he went a little roto-tiller happy (I needed one row tilled for the peppers - one - and somehow most of the garden ended up turned over) and that led to carting out more buckets of rocks, most of which were the size of my fist if not larger. This evening he was finally able to bring me the mulch though and covered 3/4 of the tomato area with it, so I'm not complaining. We'll be covering a good bit more area tomorrow.
The list of tomato cultivars actually planted now that the dust of various circumstances has settled ( is as follows )
Today I planted peppers, which were squeezed between the northernmost block of corn and the onions/leeks. I hadn't used the entire corn block and there's plenty of room to the next corn block so that it won't shade out the peppers. If the peppers shadow the onions/leeks a bit, those plants won't mind, so it should all be fine and dandy. The totals there are:
Dancing Spirits - 3
Mulato Isleno - 2
Peguis - 4
Ancho Magnifico - 4
California Wonder 300 - 6 (with 3 extra plants still in the greenhouse)
I also planted the aforementioned onions today (leeks were the day before yesterday) and the 32 daisies. I'd originally planned for the leeks and bunching onions to be in one row, and the storage onions in another, but they ended up all fitting in one row (there's 36 leeks and just shy of 100 onions total - planting them took a while). The daisies (Sky & Ice and Ballade Mix) went in on the edge of the garden just north of the peas. It was random - D had tilled it and they needed to be planted, so there they went. Tomorrow I need to do something with the 9 impatiens plants and the 2 sunflowers. Oh, and the herbs. And the beets.
( Now for a number of pictures after the cut tag. )
She's gonna get a sunburn on that belly if she's not careful.
Jack, meanwhile, has other priorities.
