A blog about a small, backyard vegetable garden.

View From Above June 1

The moment has arrived!  The much-anticipated mostly indistinct view from above!

Things are growing.  Almost everything is in.  There is room for another tomato and I will probably replace a few plants that just aren’t doing well.  In the back, the potatoes are going bananas.  I spent part of the day yesterday getting them hilled with lots of soil and I laid down the straw mulch.  The lettuces have been great with only the arugula not doing well.  It’s in an odd spot behind the peas and I thinned it yesterday to see if that would help.  (While thinning I noticed a crazy infestation of some kind of weird, small, round bug.. not good.)

The beans… well, they got in the dirt when it was too cold.  Germination has been slow and small.  I’ve got more beans ready to go and later today they’ll get replanted.

Slave to a springtime passion for the earth, how love burns through the putting in the seed. On through the watching for that early birth when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed, the sturdy seedling with arched body comes shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs. -Robert Frost
