TLC

What a way to spend a Sunday morning, giving the garden a little tender loving care. This included going midieval of the new growths of crab grass, which I slashed, chopped, and hacked them into submission, welding my hoe like the sword of truth...boo-bam. When I was done lying down the law, I water each cell, giving each a really nice soak. My hope is that this will help drive the roots down, making the plants stronger and more productive. This give me the opportunity to work on the drainage of each cell, so that all areas receive an even (or close too) amount of water. Thinking of next year, before I seed the cells, I think I will try to level each then, or have each drain towards a center line. In addition to the watering today, we are expected to get more rain tomorrow. Not sure how much, but I anything will be perfect.

This evening, I spent more time looking over our plants, figuring out out what's working, and what needs to be thinned to eliminate overcrowding. Most plants are doing well, with the exception of the carrots and broccoli. These guys just are not taking off, and I not exactly sure why. Looks like I will be going a little research, they might not make the team roster next year...dun-dun-dun.
