Garden Update 6.6.09


The garden is progressing but not in all areas. It seems my broccoli bolted and some of brussel sprouts did not take. I removed the bolted broccoli and dead sprouts and replaced them with savoy cabbage and cauliflower, hopefully they will thrive along with the remaining broccoli and sprouts.


The upside down tomatoes seem to be doing well, no buds yet, however the one purchased tomato plant that we planted in the ground has buds!! I also happed to find a MYSTERY tomato plant growing among the lettuce, it must have been from a tomato that fell on the ground last year. I dug it up and planted in an area that would give it more room to thrive. Now its wait and see as to what and if it produces any tomatoes.


This week I mulched the beans, cukes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant and the 2 tomato plants that are in the garden with grass clippings. Hope this keeps the weeds down and does not add too much nitrogen to the soil.
