13 Jun 2008Holy Beans and Weeds Beans and Vegetable gardenOvercast 31°C / 87°F
Not sure what is eating my beans, but there’s a lot of holes in the leaves. I’m also having a hell of a time keeping the weeds down on this end of the garden. I’m thinking all the weeds are attracting something that’s eating the leaves. I don’t know what those wee...

Seems to be growing pretty good, but I’m wondering if I planted too many seeds and if I should thin them out? Also, look at those cracks in the soil. Even though I double dug, mixed in some good soil I bought, and water regularly, it’s still a whole lot of clay. Maybe the brick wal...

I added the second tire to the potato tire tower. They’re really growing strong! I should have done it a few days ago, but it was just too damn hot outside to be working in the garden. I used the same soil as the first tire, mixing miracle grow fruit and vegetable soil with some of my ho...

09 Jun 2008Compost Bin On Fire!Well not exactly on fire, but I just went out to water the garden and noticed the compost pile went down a few more inches in just two days. I dug down and stuck my hand in and it was almost too hot to touch. We are in the middle of a heat wave (was about 100 degrees today), so I don’t kn...Sunny 32°C / 90°F
