Garden plans, and realities...

Planted my garden after much weeding.  Even with weed fabric, and a heavy layer of mulch, I had MUCH grass hay to pull.  On the bright side, there was some volunteer potatoes, so I am hopeful for multicolored potato salad later, hee hee!

Put in some zucchini and crookneck, and
an acorn squash plant. Also some tomatoes.  Oh, and a cucumber plant, and watermelon.  The weather had been warm, and wet.  After planting them, I came out to find slugs had a buffet on a few things. I covered the watermelon, it seems like that is the worst one to be eaten. But, one tomato I'd just started, and wanted so badly to grow, was mowed down by those little slime monsters.  On the bright side, I have several different types, but only had enough seed for one Berkeley Tie Dye, so... Get more later, I guess.

I put in Orca dry bush beans, some Blue Lake green beans, kohlrabi, carrots (yes, I am a glutton for punishment), and some Swiss chard.  Flowers, too.

Strawberries lasted through the winter, and are coming up well, so...

I seem to have a bit more time to focus, and a bit less being on the go (which, surprisingly, I am enjoying!), so, I will see if the garden does a bit better with more care and less benign neglect.

Oh, I planted some pumpkin, too, and found 3 or for Oak tree starts.  I will move them later, but I think I will just enjoy little trees in my raised beds!  Crazy, yes, why do you ask?
