The Garden – Week 4

I was sick 5 out of the last 7 days. My lawn needs to be mowed, and my garden seriously needs to be weeded. But, because I’m a stickler for a schedule, I’m posting this week’s pics anyway. I pray I have the time and energy to get the weeds under control in the next week.

Overview:

The squash is growing nicely, but the cantaloupe that I planted both died, and all of the seedlings died. I’m not sure what happened there – I grew cantaloupe in the same spot last year. I may or may not pick up some store-bought seedlings this week.

The corn is looking great.

The beans and peas keep popping up. I think I have them all thinned out, and more grow! Which is a good problem to have, I guess.

The peppers already have blooms on them.

Whatever was eating my tomatoes seems to have left them alone this week. All of the new leaves are bite-free.

However, my bell pepper seedlings are being attacked by something and I just can’t get them big enough to transplant. I’m probably going to have to buy some.

The radishes are thriving.

Carrots popped up! It’s so odd. I planted them the same week I planed the radishes.

The potatoes are just amazing. I’m so excited about this experiment.

The lettuce looks good. I need to thin it out some.

The herbs are hanging in there. I think the little seedlings are getting stronger.

Here is a picture of my apple tree. I’m only showing you this because in a month or so, these branches will be so weighted down with apples that they will be touching the ground – it will look like a weeping willow.
