garden update 7/16/08

cucumber

I had plans to do all sorts of things today, and intended to spend just a lit­tle time in the garden–but some­how, I spent the whole day water­ing, weed­ing, divid­ing, and repot­ting. Things are going well. I pulled up all the kale, with no regrets. It’s good to have the extra space. Maybe tomor­row I’ll sow some seeds–must get going on the fall/winter plants. For my own amuse­ment, here’s a list of the plants we’re grow­ing so far:
