Garden Update:

Bought some tomato cages today because my mo’s were getting a little tall and leggy! Corralled those bad boys and weeded… added some twine weaved in the pea crib fences to help get them started… they are blooming and there are even a few little mini peapods growing!!! Lot it…

Mr. Gnome is getting a little consumed by the pea plants!

The wheat field is growing… not sure if it’s the way it’s suppose to look but it’s definately growing. It’s starting to branch and look more well, like wheat, sorta… I realize it’s a little dense… we hand sowed it like the serfs of old… it’s more growing, ah, like wild wheat! Yeah… that’s the ticket. Wild wheat.

Most everything is growing pretty good.

I’m not impressed with the carrots.. they are dreadfully slow growing. The garlic is finally up and that’s cool. Potatoes are going NUTS…. watermelon, well, that and the cantelope is not really doing very well. Still look kind of the same, to be honest. Lost on watermelon plant. I’ve never had good luck with melons… Maggie really wanted to grow the cantelopes… and I said we could give them a try, but I have a feeling, they are not going to do well in the Moby homestead victory garden. But, you never know…

I think I’m going to move the watermellon out to the new beds. It’s definately much more sunnier there and i think they might like that. I believe I’ll put spinach and peas in the grow bags… they will like the slightly shady area I think.

Tomatoes are doing very well, have quite a few little dudes already growing. One’s even got bug bites all over it!

Remind Self…. get a little organic bug spray to give the farm a light dusting…

Beans are doing so so… the sunflowers and gourds are up in the corn field and there are just a couple early bloomers of corn peeking up from the raised dirt field… how exciting. I’ll bet in a couple days we’ll have two perfect little rows of corn babies!!!
