I’ve been working in my garden on my days off. It’s a BIG garden. I measured it yesterday. It starts at the east end with 3 hills of squash. Then I have watermelons, muskmelon, carrots, green beans, tomatoes (large type like Better Boy), more watermelons, sweet corn, a section of weeds which will soon become more green beans, more tomatoes (cherry type), potatoes, and finally, 3 more hills of squash. From the first squash hill at the east end of my garden to the last squash hill at the west end, my garden measures 147 feet. North to south it’s 15 feet. That’s a LOT of weeding! In the weed section (the one where I’m going to plant green beans next week), I have hundreds of volunteer tomato plants that popped up. I just can’t throw them all on the weed pile, so I’ve been digging them up, potting them up and giving them away – potluck because I don’t know whether they’re cherry tomatoes or Big Boy type. Lots of them have been “adopted” and I hope to see more disappear over the weekend.
