Garden post 2

Right, well, the transplanted Brandywines are finally snapping back. It seems that the purple Crims are doing the best out of all of them. My arugula is doing awesome and is getting close to harvest time.I will probably replant the row afterward. My cukes have their first true leaves. I am going to build a trellis for them this year. I got a blister from raking the weeds from between the rows today.... owie.

Garden post 1

Well, it must be the end of the school year if my head is clear enough to blog again. I went out to weed my garden and lo and behold, deer prints. I checked everywhere and didn't see any damage to my tomatoes. A few tiny, helpless, little purple basil plants were crushed to death. But I will accept their deaths if it was in defense of the rest of my garden. Everything seems to be going well. I even have garlic chives coming up, which didn't sprout at all last year. So, 1 point for garden, 0 for nasty invaders.
