This has been a really busy time for me between working far away from home and getting married but fortunately the weather has been cooperating marvelously and doing most of the work for me. My biggest concern right now is hoeing all the grass before it goes to seed. I was lucky not to have many weeds in the spring, but grass and other hot-weather weeds are popping up all over now. Today I will be harvesting some fingerling potatoes to see how they are coming along.
I liberated a large amount of flower bulbs from a garden center dumpster, many still very much alive and free of visible symptoms of pests or disease. I will plant those today or soon, along with the carrots and radishes I mentioned in an earlier blog and never actually planted. As it turned out, I haven't even used up the little space I was allotted. It's nearly full, but I definitely still have room to plant turnips, spinach, lettuce, radishes, and carrots (though it might be a little too late for that last one). Oh yeah, peas too.
