It's true. Garden Season is upon us and I'm behind. Fellow gardeners at the Community Garden at Davis Park keep telling me that everyone is behind and that with the weather, you just have to adjust anyway, but it doesn't make me feel at ease.
So let me start with news of the season before I report what's going on in the garden today.
This season Tera and I are the proud renters of two garden plots. We didn't opt for the "double-wide" because I didn't want anything to feel trapped in the middle. I also didn't want to have to walk through my garden plot. Maybe one day, we'll have a garden of our own with plenty of space but for now, I want to use as much of the plot space for plants and not for "tip-toeing" space.
I digress, so, plot #10 and plot #12u are both under our care this season.
Plot #10. Unfortunately our orange bucket went missing during the garden expansion. On the right there, that tree looking thing... was the remains of our tall sunflower from last season. It's been removed since this picture was taken at the end of March.
The newly acquainted plot before we removed what was left in it from its previous renters. #12u is the name since it's technically an "upper" plot space.
Plot #12u cleaned out and ready for the season. Tera added our trademark "watering system" to the back of this plot. Its not our original idea, but I don't believe anyone else in the community garden is using this method. You can see that the plot is on a slight incline as it's built into the hill. Our plan is to have some vine plants near the back of this plot that will then naturally grow up the hill throughout the season.
