So much has happened...

 

Here is the garden, at about 7pm shaded by the maple tree to the west of our yard.  All six beds are built and filled (7 cu yd of soil), three cattle panel trellises have been constructed between pairs of beds, and 3.5 cu yd of mulch has been applied over the cardboard around and between the beds.  Phew!!  

At this point I have either transplanted or started in the beds over 20 cultivars:

1. Tomatoes
2. Basil (thai, opal, lettuce leaf, genovese)
3. Peppers
4. Eggplants
5. Cucumbers
6. Cantalope
7. Honeydew Melon
8. Watermelon
9. Carrots (orange, red, and purple)
10. Beets (red, yellow, and chiogga)
11. Pumpkin
12. Winter Squash (kabocha, delicata, honeynut)
13. Spaghetti Squash
14. Sweet Corn
15. Lettuce (romaine, red ruffled, green ruffled)
16. Potatoes (in grow bags)
17. Sunchokes (ditto)
18. Ground Cherry (in a big pot)
19. Baby Bok Choy (green fortune, purple lady)
20. Peas
21. Beans (capitano, pencil pod yellow wax)
22. Spinach

I've also been starting annual and perennial flowers.  Out and transplanted are nasturtiums, calendula, marigolds, cosmos, and zinnias.  Still growing in starter packs are yarrow, echinacea, daisy, rudbeckia, viola, and alyssum.

Did I mention the herb garden?  In pots, some from starts I bought, some from starts I grew:

1. Spearmint
2. Chocolate mint
3. Borage
4. Sage
5. Rosemary
6. Thyme
7. Oregano
8. Marjoram
9. Chives
10. Summer Savory
11. Orange Balm
12. Lemon Balm
13. Parsley

So that's why I haven't been blogging for a month.  Phew!
