he fence is up, the seeds are sewn, the first good watering has been applied, and now we start the weeding and waiting. We are trying to get a border of onions around the edge of the (anti-rabbit) fence because we heard that onions will repel a bunch of pesky bugs. We'll see how that piece of folksy wisdom works out.
Hopefully we'll soon see signs of life! (The seed packages estimate 8-10 days for most of the seeds' germination times.)
We planted carrots, onions (red and white) peas, cucumbers, peppers (bell and chili), lettuces (leaf and greens), and onions.
In the flower bed we inherited just off the deck, we also added a tomato plant to the free range asparagus that we've got showing up.
See the picture?
Is it just me or does asparagus look like an alien when it starts peeking out?
At any rate, thanks for reading.
