Tweaking the garden

Spent a couple hours in the garden this morning tweaking this space and that. It's great excercise. By the time I was done, I felt spent and like I had really accomplished something. I had gone to the garden store over the weekend and I was determined to get my new plants into the ground before too much time had gone by and the plants were at risk of suffering from too little water or being neglected in those teeny pots they come in.

So, I pulled up the old arugula and the zuchinni that was taking up half the garden space and put in some asparagus, lettuce and tomatoes instead. I'm excited to see how these new additions are going to do. My old tomato plant that I just pulled up today was a dud and I'm hoping this new one will do better. This spot was such a winner with the tomatoes last year so I'm not sure why I had a hard time with is this time around. I guess I'll be able to tell more about what happened by watching how this new plant does in this same spot.

I now have more zuchinni than I know what to do with. Zuchinni pancakes, zuchinni muffins, sauteed zuchinni.....

And I've got this big pile of garden waste that won't even begin to fit in my small composting operation. Oh well.... you do what you can.
