Gardening week Continued

I promise I will be getting back into the sewing room soon and giving all my quilting buddies a break from all this gardening talk. However, at this time of the year the garden comes first. If I want to enjoy all the fruits (and veggies) of my labour then I have to plant the suckers first..LOL

Last night Mr.P and I got back to the garden in hopes to finish most of it. I still had a hard time trying to figure out what to put in the last spots. Sometimes you get so afraid of doing something wrong that you just don’t want to do it anymore and that is how I was feeling about the garden. Finally Mr.P said it doesn’t matter if it grows or not at least you will learn what not to do next year. He was right so I made some decisions and we got the last couple of sections planted.

Here are some pictures or everything planted. Now all they are pictures of dirt and sticks..But I will show you them anyhow. I am going to the city to buy tomatoes today and my seedlings are not in yet as there has been frost in the mornings still...but for the most part the main garden in planted. You'll have to ignore the dandelions

Sweet potato

This is a 30 by 10 plot and I have 5 sweet potato slips. Am i giving them too much room?

This is the new garden. It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but it is the part that is more dirt that grass. I have pumpkin and spaghetti squash seedlings that are going to go in here on Saturday. I don’t like walking in there as I hear mice (in my head I am sure) and I am afraid they are going to crawl up my pants...lol Mr.P’s solution...don’t wear pants...LOL

So there you go this my garden at the end of May. Fingers crossed this will be a good year for the garden.
