Rain, rain...stick around for a couple more days. We got our first decent rain in about a month yesterday, a little over .5" where I'm at. Hopefully we'll get some more tonight and tomorrow.
Week One: The veggie garden has only been in for a week, so I need to be patient. It will be a long two months before I even have a shot at the kind of bonanza that Rob is already starting to reap. So far the rabbits have damaged one bell pepper plant and one tomato plant, but they didn't totally kill them, just took the lower leaves. The rest are ok, though not looking as robust as they should be I think. I scattered some time release fertilizer today to supplement the soil and fertilizer I had mixed in before planting:
On the plus side, your eyes do not deceive you. That third row from the left is indeed the radishes coming to life:
When they get to 2" high I'll thin them down to about 2" apart. No sign of anything else yet. The rest of the rows should emerge in the next week or so if they are going to come up at all. I suppose I could pick a spot and dig in to see what is going on, but I think I'll just wait for now.
