We did another round of planting and shifting thing around today. Sadly, I have a cold and it probably wasn't the most intelligent thing to do, but I had the day off and it needed to get done. :)
Tali helped a bit and Shana - also sick - tackled some of the items in the front yard.
We purchased a replacement tomato plant for the lost plant we had and several other additions for the planter box and back side garden.
We have buckwheat planted here and there as filler mulch. I guess the idea is that it grows, then you cut it down to the ground and use it as mulch. We'll see if it works.
We have two types of melons planted. Uchiki Kuri melons.
And Hokkori
We're trying to get things in an order so that everything is with it's on type of plant. Lettuces, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes....all with each other. I was thinking that we'd mix them more, but we kept them together for the most part.
Talia really likes helping in moderation. :) She has a short attention span for this, but manages to enjoy it while she does it.
We did an additional box of strawberries. We're hoping we can get more going this year.
So, this is the current back yard lineup.
Again, this round of planting is partly experimentation. We'll see what does well where, then repeat the process next year based on our findings.
