Victory Garden status Thursday July 5, 2012
Pictures show what I picked this morning except for the peas and shows one row just inside the gate which has basil, eggplants, mid-season maters, and cantaloupes.
2,375 lbs YTD + 51 Thursday = 2,426 lbs YTD.
This morning I picked 48 lbs maters which included 3 eggplant fruit and 1 cuke plus 3 lbs peas which I took to th3 Collierville Food Pantry. Also did some weeding. Constant battle with a few instances of pigweed, goosegrass, and bermudagrass, but the mulch controls 90+% of the weeds and helps hold moisture.
Laura took zinnias to 18 rooms at Baptist Trinity Hospice.
Whit mowed and edges etc and garden looks very nice!
I water with the sprinklers about every 3 days.
No work to do this Monday except I will pick any maters and peas that are ready, and same for next Thursday morning. Peas are sloooooooow due to the drought.
Aint God good!
