Today we transplanted four jalapeño pepper plants on row 6, two Juliet tomato plants on row 6, a clump of three lemon cucumber plants on row 3, and six delicata squash plants on row 1 (that’s a lot of squash if they all thrive). The flower seeds on row 1 haven’t germinated. I wonder if it’s because the top of the soil has been dry. Down under the mulch, the soil is still rather wet (not yet crumbly).

We have chard sprouting all over the place, with both chard and kale going to seed right now. We have way less orach this year (due to the cardboard and wood chips), but more than enough for us to eat.

The grass is really aggressive in the southeast and southwest corners, but I’m doing my best to attack it every couple weeks.

We picked our first ounce of beans today. 😉 The beans that were barely alive are now looking quite healthy and should produce a good crop. The first cucumber and pepper should be ready this week. My peas are almost done for the season. They weren’t nearly as productive as last year but still provided some good table fare. The chard and kale continue to produce like gangbusters.

Heather brought home another rabbit today, so we have one buck and two does. This one might be pregnant.

We planted the rest of the garden today:

  • Row 1: transplanted two tomato plants
  • Row 2: seeded bush beans
  • Row 3: transplanted 2 tomato plants
  • Row 4: seeded corn, transplanted delicata squash, two watermelon plants, and pickling cucumbers

Grant transplanted a bunch of chives along the north wall of the carport.
