Garden _part 2_061410

June 14, 2010
Emma ready to water the garden- she may have caught mom's love of gardening...

As you can probably tell I tried something different this year.  I spread week blocker in-between the veggie rows and then spread sterilized straw to help keep the heat off and retain moisture, not to mention hold off the weeds.  Update - the weeds were fewer but we sill had some on any area not covered by the week blocker since the straw deteriorates rather quickly.  We did have plenty of cucumbers, peas, lettuce, a few eggplants, and tons and tons of zucchini and tomatoes.

Who says veggies are only for eating - they make great mustaches too!
