Today's garden progress

June 4th, 2008 

Today I put some veggie plants into the garden that I had gotten at Farmer's Market yesterday.  I got a flat of veggies and flowers for $1.  Woo Hoo!  Can't beat that.  So I planted 12 cabbage plants.  6 cauliflower.  12 broccoli.  I then weeded the area around the pea fence.  I also weeded between the onions and beans and garlic.  Dh weeded the corn and melon area of the garden.  He did half the garden, I did 1/4th of the garden.  I think he was trying to run off some of his dinner from Chipolte's.  His parents took him out for driving them to Mayo today.  I did appreciate the help in the garden, though. 

I also planted a bush in the flower garden.  I'm not sure it will survive.  The dog got it this morning as I was leaving for jury duty and chewed up the root and I think broke the main tap root.  We will see how it progresses after being in the dirt.  This is the SECOND plant the dog has decided to chew apart before I plant.  I am learning not to leave ANYTHING outside.  She got my garden gloves (2 pairs of them) by me going in for a drink... I come back and chewed to pieces.  I don't think she likes me.  LOL. 

Rain is on it's way again, actually some bad storms.  I hope the new plants survive the winds.  I hesitated on the tomatoes and glad I did, they are still not wind tolerant and a storm would likely break them into pieces.
