Garden looks better - James

Jun 27, 2007 21:05

My garden looks a lot better now that I got a fence to keep the critter out. I didn't think it'd work, but so far it's doing ok. I got more tomato flowers and actual tomatoes than I thought I'd get so early in the season. Reckon I'll have to start parceling them out pretty soon. My corn's finally in the ground and starting to shoot up. The eggplants have aphids and I need to get some ladybugs, but I don't got any idea where to get those here. Guess I'll Mark where he gets them. Three of the broccoli plants the dang woodchuck attacked are coming back. I think the forth one is dead, but I'm giving it a little more time to see if it can put out more than one leaf. The okra's starting to move along past seedling, but not fast enough. It may not make it.

We're supposed to go up to New Hampshire for most of July. I'll come down at least twice to check on my garden, and we got a friend to come over to check on it every other day. The automatic sprinkler system is working ok, so I ain't too worried. Still, I don't like leaving before everything's well established.
