Two weeks have flown by. I missed last week’s updates due to an extremely heavy work load.
I’ve been thinking it’s time to move the garden to it’s own web site so my blog can get back to other things. The garden is really about being a garden so I think most people will want to see a site exclusive to the garden instead of seeing other posts on this site.
The Peas were the first of the vine plants to start shooting up and make me put up the trellis. The cucumbers are not far behind, but the tomatoes wont need a trellis for a little while longer.
Huge broccoli leaves are coming up. They are getting some bug abuse though.
The Spinach is gorgeous. I wish we had planted more than one square of it. We clipped some away the other day and it was super delicious. I think the whole reason people don’t like vegetables in this country is because the stuff from Wal-Mart tastes like pure garbage. It’s coated in chemicals and gas residue. Picking stuff out of the garden is a huge difference.
The cucumbers are getting ready to climb the trellis. I pounded some fence stakes into the ground and began to wrap them in left-over mason line, but I backtracked and decided to use old copper wire for it’s strength. I see a lot of the old timers use wire. I bet they get tired of fixing broken string after a storm.
