Had a BEAUTIFUL couple days here (rained at night). Spent most of the last couple days outside. And even though my veggie and flower garden are quite small, I did get a lot done.
In the ground:
1 row - red taters (can't remember the exact variety). Also threw in a couple extra organic russets I had.
3 1/2 rows - green bush beans (organic tender green and kitchen king)
3 mounds - organic cucumbers (Straight Eight)
In the raised beds:
Roma tomatoes and 1 "Giant" tomato plant. My friend gave it to me. He said it was some sort of Heirloom variety. Thought I'd give it a try. I'll be putting in the rest of the maters (celebrities, fat boys, grape, etc) next week sometime.
In the Container Garden:
Jalapenos
a couple Serrano pepper plants
And a handful of bell peppers (various colors)
Flower beds:
Planted some more Black-eyed Susans (I had a gap in my "Black-eyed-Susan bed").
Divided up my Sedum Spectabile into 4 sections
Planted some new Zebra grass on the corner of the bed (surrounded by the Sedum)
Got everything trimmed up and well-fed.
My new load of mulch should be here on Monday.
Herb Garden:
everything is looking pretty good so far. I'm planning on planting a bunch of dill along the house. I've never tried it. Hope it takes!
I'll try to take some pics once everything starts looking purdy. Happy gardening everyone!
