Cool! But unfortunately, I never keep up with these things. I've

relaxed in my garden this year-simplified in a way. I'm not sure if

it will all work, but so far it's going well.

 

I've done more interplanting than ever-some of it planned, some

happened because I gave up on the early plantings ever sprouting and

planted the beds to summer crops and then had the spring stuff sprout

a day later. I'll let them grow up together and see how they do. And

larkspur, lettuce, chervil and miner's lettuce volunteer all over the

place, I let them stay-even in the pathways.

 

Instead of keeping the pathways between my mounded raised beds weeded

this year I am mowing them. The weeds are there, but not getting to

seed. If they invade the beds, they get yanked. So far, I like it.

Takes much less time to weed, it's more comfortable to sit on than

bark mulch (except for the prickly lettucs), and it looks nicer.

 

I haven't labled my rows. I do have written down what I bought and I

figure as they start bearing I'll be able to tell a roma from a

beefsteak tomato, a blue from a fingerling red potato and so on. That

seems to give me more freedom to interplant too.

 

So I'm not keeping any notes this year.

 

The beds are looking great. I bought a bunch of goodies, today:

manure for the corn, calcium to prevent tomato blossom end rot, iron

chelate for just about everything and organic bait for the

grasshoppers.

 

I finally got my corn, beans and squash planted. Much later than

usual, but not too late, I hope.

 

I'm going to have to start collecting canning supplies and equipment.
