2011 Garden launched

Have the tomatoes, peppers, herbs, squash, and cucumbers in the ground.

Made the illogical choice of surrounding the current raised beds with pressure treated 2x8's to make the garden look nicer and to eventually have brick pathways. While it does look nice it wasn't cheap and it took forever trying to do by myself. Oh, and it's not even done. But regardless, it will look nice in the end I'm sure.

Many variety of tomatoes though. Red Zebra, Sun Gold, Black Pearl, Red Lightning, Italian Ice, Sweet Snack, Roma, Amish Paste, Jubilee, Beefsteak, Better Boy, Marglobe, and Brandywine.

Going to try growing the cucumbers on tomato cages this year to see how that works. Cages will be about 7.5' tall so it should allow for some growth. Two-three plants per cage and seven cages in all.

Getting my grass clipping mulch down in the very near future will be critical in the battle against weeds. The beds of squash I did a few weeks back have zero weeds and that makes life so much easier. The squash by the way should be producing very shortly, already nice looking blossoms on all of those plants.

The remainder of the drip irrigation will also hopefully be in this weekend so I don't have to try to individually water 100+ plants.

Still want to try to get some corn and beans in the ground but if I don't do that shortly I don't think it will be worth it. We'll see.
