I'm having the best crop this year so far (I'm in Mass too), but mine aren't nearly as thickly sown as yours ... do you get the mildew as bad as we do?

I still haven't started my kale, but I'll do that next week I think. <br /><br />Kartrina, thanks<br /><br />wilderness, I always have that problem. This year I expect it to be worse since my paths are so narrow. But we will see if I can keep it all together.<br /><br />Diana, I love the look of carrots a lot. They are so pretty. I'd rather be eating them though. I miss them.<br /><br />Granny, nope. they saw really bad winds when the tornadoes hit Massachusetts, but I've got some string in there to make sure they don't fall over too. I need to otherwise they would have taken over my whole path already. I'm really working to keep this garden under control. So sorry about your peas. And I'd be happy to share the garden with you lol I share it with everyone else. But if I do, you have to share your lettuce. I could use some nice sweet lettuce. I think next week I'll start picking again.<br /><br />Mark, yeah I'll just have to be my own seep hose. That part of the garden is just a few of steps from my kitchen. Literally too. I have three steps down and I'm right there. So it ought to be easy to keep an eye on.<br /><br />Thomas, well lets see if I can remember them all. White and green stemmed boc choy, mizuna, kohlrabi, two kinds of broccoli, two kinds of Chinese cabbage including that huge one, tatsoi, choy sum, purple cabbage. The purple cabbage I planted in the spring didn't do well. It hasn't started heading up yet. I'll probably just pull it for the space when these are ready. I might have others I started and have forgotten. It is so hard to remember everything. I'll start some kale at the end of June too. It won't go into the brassica bed. I think I'm going to put it into the onion bed when they are pulled. So I need to start them later as the onions won't be pulled until August. Maybe I'll even start the kale in July. <br /><br />Gela, thanks<br /><br />EG, lol but I've seen you make that beautiful bench. We could use one of those. <br /><br />Sherry, it will become a tangled jungle by the end of July. But as long as I can walk down the paths I'll be OK.<br /><br />Gardenvariety-hoosier, sadly I don't have a lot of bees around here. I've been trying to attract them. But I have seen a few bumble bees recently so that is a good sign.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-21822661143946286422011-06-14T19:54:07.147-04:002011-06-14T19:54:07.147-04:00That is one impressive swath of peas.

And you make me blush. Though I do love the look of the new garden. It is more upscale than my last one. My last one was a rustic garden with a peeling fence and logs to hold up the raised beds. I like the look of rustic gardens too, but they are such a different look. My favorite part about my new garden is the brick path. We put the path all the way around the house and oh how I love having a path that doesn't get muddy. So fabulous.<br /><br />johanna, lol yes I have a huge lazy streak in me. It is mixed in with random bursts of loving to work. It is just like exercise. I hate to start, but once I get started I want to keep going. This spring I got the nastiest sunburn. I hadn't done that in years. But I went out early in the morning to do 10 minutes of chores and four hours later came back in. Usually I would wear my sun shirt if I were going to be out for that long, but I totally lost track of time. But I am lazy with some things. All the things I had my handyman do, I'm quite capable of. Nothing was particularly hard. Well except one thing I didn't know how to do, but most of it I could have. But it was 24 hours worth of work that I didn't have to do that way.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-12828130641228945492011-06-14T07:27:13.005-04:002011-06-14T07:27:13.005-04:00LAZY??

I know what out of control can be. When planting in a defined space, there is always a tendency to overplant.
