The garden really took off this month! Pea plants are shriveling up, but the summer squashes are exploding and already producing more than an ordinary human can consume, and all the other plants are showing great promise for bountiful harvests in the next two months. For our pilot year, everything is looking so impressive.
The weeds have been rather impressive as well, unfortunately. Some plots and pathways were completely overgrown with weeds earlier in the month, but thanks to the start of our bi-monthly work parties and the help of lots of landscaping cloth, we have made good headway in getting the issue under control. We are still learning how to do this gardening thing efficiently, especially with our goal of keeping organic, but practice makes perfect!
Below are a few photos of garden growth for your perusal!
