Well, glad you’ve made progress with Nanner. Too bad we couldn’t send you one or two days of our rain. We have had more than enough for a couple of weeks.

I have a kitchen garden - but it has no plants. Hubby never got around to cutting the tree that shades it in the morning, and the house shades it the rest of the day except for about 1 hr. per day.

I have been thinking about using it to bury kitchen scraps and develop really rich dirt that could be transferred elsewhere later. In other words-growing dirt. LOL

I got a lot done in the garden this weekend. Finished the cleanup done and got serious about planting.

32 tomato plants out of their pots and into the dirt. Beets seeded. Rutabaga seeded. Collards seeded. Radishes seeded. Mrs. Augie's Russian Bunching cucumbers seeded. Built a few tomato cages.

Straight 8 cukes are up. Blue Lake pole beans are up. Garlic, kale and cabbages are rocking. Peppers are catching up.

All that's left to do in this garden is finish caging the tomatoes, seed the okra, and set up the drip lines for watering.

Soon as Nanner is fixed I'll hook up the tiller and tackle the pumpkin patch and sunflower field.
