Here's the Veggie garden a month later:
Well so far most everything is still alive after a month of being in the ground, which is further than I was last year...Today I put some veggie fertilizer down because some of the plants are looking a little yellowish, and since the flowers have tended to dry up rather than turn a color and fall off, I'm thinking there is some kind of nutrient deficiency... Hopefully the generic veggie food will help.
The Tomatos are looking the most promising, there are two regular and five cherry with little green fruits on them that will be ready to eat in a few weeks.
The corn is starting to come up they are about 4" tall, the sunflowers are doing well so far, and the squash is taking off.
The cucumbers are bouncing back from getting a little crispy over an overly hot weekend, there are two miniscule cucks starting...
The potato died - but left me one small new spud. It was a transplant that grew in my compost heap.
The cantelope is not looking like it's going to make it, I think a squirrel sat on it and cruched it. The Garbanzo bean plant was attacked and two of the three "branches" were snapped off.
Oh - The dog is well trained and stays out of the raised bed. Even if the ball falls into the bed during a game of fetch she'll just stand at the edge and look at you to get the ball for her.
