Garden Update(3)

Well, I'll get around next week to writing about class.  A combination of being in class/on the range from 8am-6pm for 3 days, sleeping on an unfamiliar couch, driving to dallas and back, getting a cold, and coming home to pollen counts that have quadrupled in the past week have me feeling pretty lousy still.

In the meantime, I do have a garden update!  We have officially picked our first produce...a single strawberry.  It had a lot of flavor for a little guy though.

The garden has been overrun with grass/weeds, and we had 2 pepper plants that looked fairly dead, so we did some weeding/replanting today.  Here's hoping our new pepper plants make it longer than the others did.  We also have a cherry tomato plant that is looking stunted, but it also looks healthy so I'm going to give it another week or so.  To help it along, we went ahead and fertilized today as well.

Alright, enough yaking..picture time!

Our pepper/squash bed still over run with weeds

Cleaned up

Weekly Garden update (2)

No pictures, because its raining and I don't feel like getting out in it.

Tomatoes are all still looking strong.  2 of my pepper plants I'll probably wind up replanting next week.  They just never grew any and have been a sickly yellow color since they went into the ground.  Both strawberry plants are already producing fruit, so that's exciting.  Basil is coming on strong, but my other herbs have failed to grow.  3 out of 4 watermelon plants are doing alright, and I have plenty of good looking squash popping up. 

Hope everyone elses gardens are doing well.  As I said with my last post, I will be in Dallas to become an NRA certified pistol instructor next week.  Leaving tonight, and won't be posting again until at least Thursday.  Expect my thoughts on the class, and an actual garden update with pictures later next week.

Until then.....
