6-18 Update
Well, I have not kept up with what is going on!
This week a few of my petunias in the front circular bed have blossomed. Very exciting. The candytuft there looks like it will be blooming soon as well.
Something seems to have eaten my zinnas, I bought some wax begonias and impatiens to fill in that side of the figure 8 bed.
Last week I finished filling in the asparagus bed. tues I went to frog pond farms and bought dill, Summer savory, parsely (which went in the regular garden beds) and 4 red cabbage, 1 white eggplant and 1 purple eggplant (which went in the asparagus bed-asparagus will be planted next spring).
I planted the purple podded stringless beans on the 7th, they are all finally up and showing the first set of seed leaves. All the kentucky wonder and the few scarlet runner I planted next to the peas have been up for a while.
The bush beans and lima beans have been up for about a week.
I planted carrots (thumbelina) around the peppers, and plan to plant more in between the eggplants and cabbage.
Yesterday I finally go the soil mixed up for the tire tower and planted my seed potatoes (bought again on tues from frogpond, then cut and let dry outside for 2 days).
I gave up on the scallions I had planted originally in the old bed this spring. There are no signs of anything. I went ahead and planted in kohlrabi instead.
I had also harvested some lettuce and spinach, and re-sowed with slo-bolt lettuce.
I drew a small trench to the south of the purple podded stringless beans and sowed another packet of scallions. We'll see if we get anything from them.
Bought an ornamental gourd seedling and an acorn squash seedling. Planted them directly in the compost heap yesterday.
bough a new cherry tomato plant-planted it on the side of the house where 2 of the 4 ground cherry plants had died. Dug a trench and laid it on its side after pinching off the leaves to give it a better root structure. Also took the 3 in the back corner of the side there and buried part of their stems as well (they were sort of leaning down on their sides anyway.)
Have been reading "the 20 minute vegetable gardener" which has some good recommendations for spring salad greens I hadn't considered (for next year) and for some fall crops like asian radishes and asian cabbage. I'll post that info later.
