Garden

[johnridley]

Finally planted the garden today. There are cucumbers (straight-eights) and sugar snaps on the climbing fence, sweet corn (one row, I'm dropping in another tomorrow), peppers, watermelon and cantelope [edit: also some sunflowers]. That looked like a lot of space until I started planting in it. The strawberries we're nipping the flowers from, giving them another year to get established before taking any berries. I have a freshly tilled stripe of land next to them that we'll be moving daughter plants into in a few weeks, then next year we'll start harvesting from the original row, then we should be into a regular rotation (perhaps a 3 row rotation, we'll have to see how these plants produce in our soil and weather).
