Alrighty then, that garden is a mess. I've been busy getting my classroom ready and haven't been out to the garden for about a week and a half. Wow! The weeds went nuts! I know it's not a nice thing to say, but I truly hate Bermuda grass. If anyone has anytime to head out there and weed, now would be a great time. Plus, it's not supposed to be too hot this week (though it's a bit toasty today).
Tomatoes are doing well though they're about two weeks behind my tomatoes at home.
I've planted a second rotation of peas that are coming up now.
The pumpkins have squash bugs, but I'll mix up some soap solution that should take care of them.
On the agenda:
-weeding
-watering
-getting a new spigot for the water barrel
One last thing:
Garden Party
September 18th (yes, we'll have it cleaned up by then)
1:00-4:00
Potluck
Music
Garden plans from Pete and Andrea (our friendly neighborhood UVa landscape architecture students)
Garden tour
I've managed to make some stuff from our garden I'll bring. I'll also make a big cooler of homemade lemondade. You bring a dish of something from your garden (or someone else's garden). We'll eat together, listen to some music, check out the garden and the garden plans, maybe toss a frisbee and enjoy our cooler weather.
