Yesterday, the weather was perfect for gardening. A strong sea breeze kept it nice and cool along the coast. When I arrived, Mika was sprinklering and weeding. The weeds NEVER had a chance against Mika. The final score was something like Mika 200/Weeds 0. I couldn't tell if JR and Alex planted the pumpkins that they had talked about. We picked a bunch of beautiful cucumbers, a yellow squash, two gourds, and the first ripe tomato from the garden. I took them inside and some of the boys were there and they got excited about seeing the freshly picked veggies. One of the boys asked if we could make pickles. What do you think? I did a little weeding in the front circle, but it's so overrun I wasn't sure what needed to be done. There are a few pumpkins coming-up. I was also at the garden in the morning and talked with Jeff. He mentioned that they have hired a cook with experience and they're also looking forward to the farm stand. By the way....don't forget to check the calendar and write down your gardening dates.
That could be a good project for boys to make pickles with some help from the new cook, or we gardeners make some if they like.
ReplyDeleteI noticed there were some baby arugulas around the watermelon and cucumber beds in the back during my fight with weeds. Does anyone remember planting them?
Please be aware if anyone weeds that area - let's keep them!

The round bed in front of the house's front door should have its final weeding and mulching. Would anyone be willing to help finish that off?
ReplyDeleteI would like to work on that with company. I have my refund from Plummer, so I can contribute to more mulch.
