Planting the seedlings in PA
We took the seedlings for the cabbages, eggplant, bok choy, and tomatoes with us this weekend so that I could plant them at the farm. It was dry at the farm, a little too dry for my tastes, but not so much that I needed to water anything - yet. Anyway, I got right into planting the seedlings because I was afraid of the predicted rain storms catching me. I had a problem with the black plastic.. not that I ran out but that I didn't have enough sod staples to hold it down! I used rocks as best I could. While I was here I got noticed that the staples got delivered to the city house, so next weekend I can reinforce the rocks, as needed. I have some figures for the garden layout (planned and actual); see below.
 |
| Big patch layout - to date. Big section in the center there needs something - if not, then at least cover with BP. |
 |
| Front patches. Squash needs to go in yet, but the tomatoes are in! and everything else looks good. I need to start putting down more weedblocking paper or cardboard - weeds are starting to grow fast! |
 |
| Paw-paw garden. Beans an pumpkins are up! Probably need to thin next weekend. Hopefully, I will have my sweet-potatoes to put in then too! Sweet-potatoes go on the left. |
