Making good progress towards finishing the planting in the POPYC garden. This week I rebuilt the flower box to the left of the gate onto the deck (the original had been busted apart by a large root). I’ll plant it next week with sunflowers and maybe some low flowers too. Also today I planted the raised bed on the right side of the front gate with cherry tomatoes and four kinds of peppers.
Still a few things to put in but hopefully in a week, or at most two, everything will planted. Then it’s just water and weed til things are ready to eat.
Still to do in the next couple of weeks:
- Box by deck gate: plant sunflowers
- Herb gardens: Plant thyme, dill
- Raised bed front gate, right: Remove hostas. Plant Better Boy tomatoes, tomatillo, and basil. Mulch with salt marsh hay.
- Add trellis netting for the cukes.
- Set up a plan for how the garden will stay weeded and watered.
