keep planting
May 24th, 2008 Posted in General RandomnessFriday, the crew planted out thirteen 400 foot beds. That’s a lot of food. Granted much of it was summer squash, winter squash, and cukes- which are planted one row per bed 2 feet apart- but it’s still a lot of ground to cover— and they did it with the sky raining on their parade off and on all day. Our crew is great!


We also planted the second round of our tomatoes. Having 102 degree temperatures made the tomato plants grow out of control. To solve the problem of too tall plants? Dig deeper holes…….

And then just plant the tomatoes as deep as you can. We even lay them flat in the holes sometimes and then curve’em up.

And now for some more cool and rainy weather. All the veggies seem to be appreciating the nice rains. We’ll be at market on Tuesday. Grants Pass turned out to be decent today, despite Boatnik weekend.

Chris, are you covering (plastic) the new cukes and summer squashes? I’m trying to figure out if I should bother with mine, which I’m sowing today.
