garden

Since I have been feeling better, this is what I have been doing after work.  I have been putting in my vegetable garden.  It is mostly eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes.  But we also put in another fig and four very healthy thornless blackberry plants.  My Beloved and I like fruit and are trying to grow as much as possible of our own.

The funny thing was when I went and looked around my beds, how many volunteers we have.  We planted six tomato plants from the farmers market.  But then I spread old seed and I found out my Beloved had gone about put the over right fruit in the ground last year.  We actually have sixteen or twenty tomato plants.  I do not know what we are going to do with them all!  There is also volunteer amaranth, beans, and watermelon!  

And then whatever random "oh, lets plant these old seeds and see if anything comes up in the flower bed."  I have a pumpkin plant from that.

All I can is that next fall, I am going to have enough compost for sheet mulching, even if I have to buy it!
