Well, it has been a rough year for gardening so far. The birds ate my beets as soon as they came up, and I have been late planting everything. That said, it has been so windy and dry that it has been best not to have a lot of stuff to water right now. The tomatoes and peppers I started inside are finally transplanted and I am hoping to get beans, watermelons and cantaloupes out tomorrow. We got a huge harvest of lettuce and peas today. This year I decided to try planting lettuce thickly instead of in rows and it has really paid off. It shades itself and keeps the moisture sealed in longer. If only I could eat as much lettuce as I am producing.
