Next Planting Day Saturday June 4

I planted 6 broccoli plants and carrot seeds on this side.


View of the whole plot.



The zinnias are starting to come up, as well as the cucumber seeds.



Lettuce is growing... I picked a few leaves but don't love the red lettuce.


The robin is up to his old tricks.

Beginning the Garden

I planted the lettuce on a rainy day around the middle of May.  The red lettuce was growing on it's own and I moved it.  The green lettuce is butter lettuce from Allendale Farms.  

May 30 is when I really began planting.  Here is what I did.


Here is the plot!





I added herbs and a few marigolds to the square in front of the lettuce.  On the far side are 2 pepper plants, a cucumber, and some cucumber seeds.  Oh, and zinnias and sunflowers in the far left corner.


Roxane's tomatoes are in the middle row.


I planted some zucchini and summer square in the middle of the lettuce.
This robin came over and ate some worms after I turned the soil.

Community Garden

I'm working a plot at the Minton Stable Community Garden, about a half mile from my house.  The plot belongs to a friend, who will be away a lot this summer.

Here are some pictures of the community garden on May 30...
