Garden Edit

Hello All,

I had to do a little garden edit yesterday.  The Broadway Community Garden plot I have is a weed haven!  Holy cow, there are weeds everywhere.  I've been checking on it once a week.  I went to check on the seeds I planted again and most were overrun by weeds. 

The corn was the lone bright spot.  They are doing well for the most part.  I do have tomato seedlings now, but they are not impressive.  I'm sticking with them and I'll do my best to keep them growing.  All the peppers were lost.  The weeds were so thick, I couldn't tell what was what and I'm pretty sure I accidentally pulled a couple of them.  So no Jalapenos, no Mini Red and Chocolate Bell Peppers. The Sugar Baby and Midget Melons were all lost save two seedlings.  One is doing OK, and one is barely hanging on.  The chives were duds.  Nothing from them. 

I then went to Sullivan's and picked up a flat of various seedlings.  I picked up some Roma Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Yellow and Red Bell Peppers, Cayenne Peppers, Spanish Yellow Onions, Cucumbers and more Marigolds.  I plopped them in where I could.  The plot LOOKS better now.  We'll see if these little guys take off.  I did hit everything with a little more worm castings.  I put some around each base and hit it with some water.  It did rain last night, as well. 

I also had a few pots that didn't have any sprouts.  I had to replace one of the Orange Thai Pepper, the Mini Red Bell Pepper and the Eva Purple Tomato.  Now I have a Cayenne Pepper, a Chocolate Beauty Bell Pepper (I better not mention that to my neighbors.  They might think I'm racist!) and a Roma Tomato, respectively.  I have some left over seedlings if anyone wants any.  I have six. 

Sorry, no pictures this time.  I was rushing around trying to get all this done, I forgot to take some pics!  Which sucks, because I really like pictures.  Oh well.  Next time.  Speaking of next time, have a good weekend!
