We're headed to mid 90s by weekend so I'll be watering soon.

One end of my 16x16-ish front yard garden is angled so I have one less than 90 degree corner. I tossed weeds there all season and at the end of the season, tossed the pants pulled out for the year. I knew I'd be importing the Comfrey plants where the goats can't get at it and figured the pile would be good food for them.

Must have tossed a few split maters in that direction too because I have volunteers that just popped up in the last week or three.

There are several of them including another that big that were not there a 2-3 of weeks ago. They're all against the fence so I'm going to let them go and train them upwards and then sideways on the fence and get what I get for maters.

Comfrey is a nitrogen fixer so I imagine the mater right next to it ought to do good.

Weed you're garden day will have to wait until Sat morning when I'll weed and mulch around comfrey and volunteers.

That is awesome, LOL!

Later this growing season we’ll play, ‘What’s Growing in Diana’s Compost Pile?’ I got five nice Butternut Squash last season with NO effort whatsoever!

Don’t know how it happened, but I have some NICE lettuces growing in there right now, and I purposefully planted a ‘Juliet’ tomato in there today that I had no other room for. She will be ONE Happy Camper, I’m betting! (small Paste-type great for drying) I planted her on the corner where she can cascade down and will be easy to pick.

Well, that’s the PLAN, anyway. :)
