The hoophouse has been converted from winter cover to bird-netting. Tomatoes are starting to form, as well as squash and peppers. The last of the cool-weather greens are just over, and the empty space is prepped for the beans that are still in pots. Zucchini and cukes are in cages, and sweet potatoes are growing in containers this year. The asparagus got away from us while we were traveling, and most went to 4-6’ stalks with blossoms. Would like to find some artichockes, but they’re not common here. I started most plants fro seed, but buy potted replacements if I have a casualty. The 240 sq ft garden is 75% fabric-mulched at the moment, and an experimental rainbarrel is connected to the irrigation. I just load the barrel from hose if we don’t get rain, to give the chlorine a chance to gas off.
