I’m now harvesting lettuce out of the garden. It feels nice to begin reaping the rewards of the work.

Tomorrow I’ll put the last seeds in the ground. I left a short row empty for a later planting of green beans. The first sowing is thriving so it’s time for another planting.

I wonder how long it will take me to decide to try and add just one more thing?

I’ve done a couple of new thing this year. I’ve planted some extra zucchini in the pots of compost in the center of my tomato plant groupings. I’ll see if I can get something out of them as well as using them as a way to add nutrients to the tomatoes.

The other thing was plant a hill of cantaloupe inside an open barrel of unfinished compost. The cantaloupe are of a small variety and I think they will stay on the vine as it climbs out of the barrel. We’ll see. I can always support them if need be.

I’ll see you in the backyard!
