Photo Update

Kevin covered the eggplant and pepper beds with a thick layer of black mulch. We hope that this will help to warm up the soil and retain moisture.



Earlier in the season, Kevin made a really simple trellis for the peas. We had planted them along the fence, but not close enough to use it to climb on. Instead, we laid wooden stakes diagonally from the peas to the fence and tied them on with zip ties. Then we wove string around the stakes to create a simple grid. It has worked perfectly.



This is a shot I want to continue to take in stages. Earlier this month, the same photo looked like empty mounds of dirt. Now, we have onions sprouting in the front, cucumbers, zucchini, and squash in the mounds - all growing true leaves. In fact, the zucchini are quite ready to be thinned.



Just another view of the progress to date!
