Greetings fellow gardeners!

I'm somewhat new to the garden so I haven't met all of you yet. I have been working in the garden with Marie, doing a lot of weeding and helping out with the irrigation situation--which it appears we have straightened out thanks to the new hoses.

Sunday evening I went over and planted a few new things:
  • In the plot where there previously was garlic, I put two acorn squash plants. I also added some bunching onions, leeks, and chives near the onion plan that was already there.
  • I put a third squash plant in the far back plot, but it and the other vine plants (squash? melon? cucumber?) don't seem to be doing too well back there.
  • In the section with the dying poppies and peppers that Marie recently added, I put two creeping thyme plants.
I stopped by today and it looks really nice. The amaranth, sunflowers, and mustard are small child height and all that lettuce looks like it would make several nice summer salads. There are lots of little green tomatoes popping up too! I'm hoping to get back over there this weekend to do more weeding and cage in some more tomato plants.
