We had a lot of fun things going on in the garden today, as our big focus is getting space cleared and putting things in the ground.
Most of the morning was spent loosening up the soil and pulling weeds. The area between the garlic and pea/tomato beds was cleared up and ready for planting. In that space we now have 6 rows of carrots and 2 rows of beans.
What we'd really like to do is turn over most of the grass surrounding the current beds because it will not only make more space for planting, but also lessen the chance of weeds and grasses moving in on the beds.
Less weeds around the beds= Less weeds infiltrating the beds! I mean, weeding out a bed can be nice... but it sure is a lot of work

| Since we harvested the last of the lettuce last week and gave it to campus kitchens, I planted some beets it their place. |

| The tomatoes are looking good and got re mulched to keep the weeds off |

| Who knew that in the midst of all those weeds was a few asparagus plants! |

Here is a photo of some borage that we found had self-seeded. I had never seen borage before and was stunned by it's very different blue color |
It's great to see the garden in bloom and with freshly turned beds. I don't think that our corn will be knee high by the forth of July... but I saw today that our raspberries are looking ripe-- I'll take it!
