My garden is getting thoroughly watered this morning.

I have 6 kinds of tomaters, 3 kind of peppers, basil, cukes and yellow squash.

It’s about 20% of the size of last years. I made it way too big last year, it looked horrible and weedy, it was just too much to keep up with. This year, it’s nice and small, and already completely mulched.

Since I have a tiller, I helped out about a dozen neighbors getting their gardens going, too.

Got my spring garden in late this year because things were so cold and wet in the Philly area. But the taters are looking good now, along with the usual spring crops (onions, beets, chard, peas, greens, leeks and lettuce), other than the Bok Choy, which, for some reason, only had one seed germinate (looks kinda lonely by itself). The green beans look a bit munched, I think a rabbit is getting them. Got 6 varieties of tomato, 4 of peppers (might put in a couple more, summer and winter squash, tomatillos, limas, okra, cukes, watermelon, corn and herbs. Got some good rain last night and some more is forecast this afternoon with passing thunderstorms (stay away, hail!) and a nice weekend to work in the garden - mid-seventies and low humidity.
