Looking good!!

   I try to go out to the garden everyday, unless it rains. After a few more days of raining, on May 19th I went back to inspect...and of course, weed some more. By now, I have gotten exhausted with weeding. I decided to hit the sale at Lowes and buy a cultivator to help beat up the weeds and loosen the soil. It was on sale for $20. And it worked beautifully. It makes weeding so much easier. That was money well spent.

              

   I was happy to walk through my garden and see everything looking good. I noticed a lot less beetles, so the neem works. I mixed up more of the mixture and sprayed again. I also planted onions, garlic, okra, carrots, peppers and more watermelon. Previously, I planted asparagus. I read that the first couple of years, asparagus cannot be harvested and eaten. So I purchased some 3-year-old crowns from ebay for $12. Not bad, considering how expensive it is to buy asparagus at the grocery store. And boy, do I love asparagus!!!  
                                                                                                   

 

                                   

                            

   I was very happy to see how well my garden was coming along; however, I will be learning a very valuable lesson in the week to come...
