we got working in the garden at 7am....wanted to get an early start in case it got really hot today....work a little, then it would rain a little (which is fine because we are in desperate need of rain) then back to work...

Step 1: run string line so everything is planted the same distance apart and

cut the black fabric with a razor knife in an X

Step 2: plant.....plant....and then plant some more until each side is done.

this side has cabbage, 4 types of lettuce, cayenne peppers, watermelon, cucumbers, honeydew, cantaloupe

...here is a closer look...



the other side is all about the tomatoes and bell peppers....we can 12 different recipes that call for tomatoes and/or bell peppers...this year we planted 160 plants of roma, big boy, small round and lunchmate tomatoes ....and 48 california wonders ....so we should be good to go...

here it is all finished

here is a close-up from the other corner.....we put the tomato cages on the day we plant, then we don't have to mess with it later

the garden is 50 feet long and 25 feet wide.... right at 450 plants planted this year

it is going to be a BUSY fall....

Pleasant Dreams!!!
