Gardening Update

Only a week later than the last garden post and it's grown so much!! It's amazing what rain and hot air will do!!


Above is big pile of potatoes! They did so well last year that we tripled the area and are hoping for a good bunch this year as well. It's hay on top of the stack...we use it to keep the moisture in.

Fresh dill! I can't wait to make my dill dip recipe using this!

Tomato plants! They've grown so much and I can't tell that the squirrels have bothered them anymore so I'm quite pleased about that.

This is either squash or cucumbers (I think it's cucumber). I keep forgetting which side of the garden I planted what. But it's growing quite nicely. There is 3-4 of growth difference so that all the fruit doesn't produce at one time! I could hardly keep up last year!


And this is my little garden helper! She loved using that big rake! Each time we mow the lawn we collect the grass and spread it over the garden. It helps keep the weeds down somewhat and helps put nitrogen back in the soil.

Cool! I'd love to have those potatoes in my garden. And the dill too!
