>Your garden is my dream! It's beautiful. It will be on my mind all night.

Are you in zone 7? I planted most of my tomatoes and peppers on June 3 and it only began raining this past week. I've had a lot of wasted clouds. But the garden did wake up with some good downpours in the last few days. The days have been basically cooler than usual; one humid day so far.

I see that your potatoes have a lot of straw around their base. Yes? Half of my potatoes are growing in straw and the other half in soil and compost. I just have them in four Smart Pots.

I will be supplying pictures tomorrow, if it is sunny. I took your advice and planted French peas in buckets next to my white colored house. They are doing fabulously well in height with blossoms beginning in the last three days.

Thanks for sharing your pics. Your garden is what I would expect from you.

Eddie

Wow, mbc! Your garden looks absolutely awesome!

Nice to see others have weeds too....as long as I get them out before they seed, I consider them green manure :) It's just so hard to keep up with everything that needs to be done this time of year...

>Monica, this is a first. I bought a bale of salt marsh hay. I noticed that you use it in the garden. How close can I come to the tomato plants with it? I know that this is a stupid question, but it is the first time I'm using it. I intend to do all of the garden beds as they dry out so fast.

thanks,

Eddie
