Notes for September 14, 2008

I finally got outside on Saturday. It was hot and humid like it was August. Today we are close to breaking high temp records. Anyway yesterday I picked tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers and pulled out the wax beans and then planted two rows of radishes. I also thinned the carrots.

Notes for August 28, 2008

I picked about 30 tomatoes and about 60 cherry tomatoes last night and about 6 cucumbers.

Some of my cosmos are about 5.5' feet tall. they come up to my nose.

The wife cooked up some of the wax beans for dinner last night and I actually thought they tasted sweeter than green beans (if that's possible).

Notes for August 26, 2008

Last night I picked wax beans and filled two large Ziploc bags.

I pushed the mulch back along the latest planting of green beans (I had to clear the mulch along the row when I planted them).

And I turned over the onion garden using a shovel to get it ready for planting carrots. Since we haven't had any rain in over a week, it was easy to turn and the soil didn't clump, it just fell apart as a turned the shovel over. I was happy when I saw that there was one earthworm enjoying the organic material although it didn't look very happy being disturbed.
