Garden Time

Garden time again.  Tilled up the garden on Saturday, let it rest a few days and planted it on Tuesday evening.  I found lots of good plants.  Went to Fort Vannoy farms and got some peppers and melons including a Crenshaw melon.  They get large and very sweet.  

Went to the grower's market and got tomatoes, peppers and more melons.

Went to Chet's Nursery and Redwood Nursery and got more tomatoes, melons, peppers, sugar snap peas, lettuce, squash and cucumbers.

I put down black plastic for the melons, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, since our nights here in Grants Pass Real Estate are cool during the summer and the black plastic collects and holds the heat so they grow better, faster and ripen better.  I found a Sun Gold cherry tomato--very sweet and prolific.

Inside of the Compost Tumbler after 10 days.  Still steaming and warm, about half the volume it was when I filled it up.  A few more days and it will be finished.  I used the compost tea mixed about 10 parts water to 1part tea as a pick me up drink for all the new plants in the garden.  Great fun here in Grants Pass Real Estate.
       So long for now.
