It has been a busy month here. The garden is doing so well, unfortunately so are the weeds. We are really depending on our garden for our food for the winter. This is what we have planted so far:
Five 35′ rows of green beans
100 Tomato Plants
25 Cabbages
36 each of Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Brussel Sprouts
Four 35′ rows of corn
Two Watermelon hills
4 Acorn squash
4 Zucchini
4 yellow squash
25 Pepper plants
20 Jalapeños
16 Basil
8 Dill
Carrots
Lettuces
Beets
Peas
We have been picking peas, beans, yellow summer squash, and zucchini from the garden already. In May we picked strawberries at a local U-Pick fram and now blueberries and blackberries are making their way into the house. I still have a lot of lettuces that are doing well and we harvested our garlic yesterday. I ended up with about 100 nice large garlic bulbs.
In addition to all the harvesting, we are also trying to get our tomatoes trellised. We have about 1/2 of them trellised so far and the other 1/2 will get done this evening (hopefully). We have been using a small mantis tiller between all my rows. It has been a very mild and wet spring and hard to keep the weeds at bay. There is a never ending list of this to do out there.
Pictures will be coming soon!!

This is wonderful! Post pics of your trellising, please. I’m trying an Elliot Coleman style trellis this year and like it so far…looking for other good ideas though.
And replant those summer squash so when the bugs/wilt get ‘em, you have more coming along….another good Elliot Coleman tip.
Can you tell I’ve been reading his books again lately?
Blessings!
