Garden Update

5/2/2011

The garden is looking great.  We are harvesting cabbage (there are a few left), beets, snow peas, summer squash, swiss chard, collards, green beans, radishes and a few tomatoes.  The addition of the compost will help keep the soil moist while adding nutrients to the soil.  Thanks to all who helped last weekend.   As a reminder when watering, please check the soil first with your finger and if it needs water, turn on the soaker hoses for about 30 minutes.  This will ensure we only water when necessary and conserve water.

We still have room for some summer fruits and vegetables.  I planted some melon seeds this weekend.  Other seeds that can be planted for summer harvest are: southern peas, cucumber, eggplant, watermelon, okra, sweet potatoes and peppers.

Derrick is still working on obtaining approval of the garden shed as an Eagle Scout project from the Eagle Scout Committee.  He hopes to get approval and start construction this month.
