I hsve been super busy with work projects, a good thing in this economy, but have been going out to the garden every morning to check things. The arugula has suddent exploded, and seems complete ready to eat, as does the red lettuce I planted about a month ago, The swiss chard is towering, but can go longer, I think. (This means I need to plant more lettuce and arugula so we stay in greens; thinking maybe planting more spinach as well).
However, the big thing is that I am going to make some more container beds and start planting the veggies crops--tomatoes (6-8 plants, complete with tomato cages and trellis), peppers, eggplant, squash, and some other things I have not yet figured out (what do we want to grow and eat? as opposed to buy)?
I am hoping to involve two friends who will get a key to our gate and come in and help water and work in exchange for a share of the bounty. Need to get them involved soon as well--it is going to get hot awfully suddenly and containers dry out,
