Summer is moving right along. I paid my weekly visit to my community garden plot at the Broadway Community Garden. It is weed city over there! Every time I go over there, it looks like I never weeded.
Today I hit Lowe's and Habig's to get some garden supplies. I picked up some Garden Tone, a bottle of fish fertilizer, a couple bamboo stakes and some straw. I did my weekly weeding then gave every plant a side dressing of Garden Tone. They need watered so that fertilizer can take effect. It better rain soon.
Then I covered the entire garden with straw to do two things: keep the weeds down and keep the moisture in the bed. Lastly, I put tomato cages and stakes around as many of the tomatoes I could. I lost track of how many tomatoes I have. Whoops. Maybe I should take inventory, huh? But hey, look at these lovely pics!
I tell you what, with planning a wedding, mixed with my full work schedule and the normal life stuff, I haven't been as attentive to the garden as I normally am. Plus, I do have the garden box here at the house. It's doing ok. I got about 10 good Radishes. They were nice in our salads. The Arugula is bolting. I thought it would have been bigger, but this is the first time I've grown them.
Well, that's it for now. Man, I can't wait till I can eat some tomatoes and peppers from the garden! And yes, it's true. I do not garden naked. That sounds like a terrible idea. I think my friend Leah told me there was a national naked gardening day. This will not be happening on 38th Street or any other street for that matter! Unless I'm reeeeeaaaalllly drunk and decide it's a great idea to go work in the garden. Oh please, let Miss 38th Street stop that before it happens.
38th Street Gardener. Out.
