Garden: Sunday May 1st, 2011


It’s been two weeks and the peas have begun making their climb up from the soil. The swiss chard has just begun to emerge, along with the bok choy. It’s been two weeks since Frank and I hustled to get the garden in shape for the summer. Here’s what it looked like three weeks ago. More to come.
You may be able to notice in the picture that the weed blocking fabric isn’t the best. It’s too thin and weeds are beginning to grow. Next year we’ll use this plastic weed blocking material since nothing grew underneath it. The dark rectangle path you see is made from recycled car tires and this too has weed blocking material built underneath it. We’ll hopefully be able to use this year after year and not have to worry about weeds.
