Lazy

Yes, I have been. There's been a lot going on lately (give me a few more weeks and I might share what) so I've been lazy both with gardening and posting. Fortunately, the garden produces well when left alone so we've still been enjoying lots of beans, squash, and tomatoes. A few cucumbers are almost ready but I don't think the melons are going to make it.

I did muster up the energy to plant Long Island Brussels Sprouts and Bright Lights Chard a couple of weeks ago. We had a good harvest from the chard last winter but the sprouts went in the ground way too late to do much of anything. I'm still on the cusp of "too late" this year so keep your fingers crossed.

Yesterday I got really motivated and spent all afternoon in the yard. Mowed grass, cleaned up spent flowers, planted lettuces (4 Seasons, Black Seeded Simpson, and Ruben's Red Romaine), sifted half a bin of compost and tried to figure out where to use it all. I was exhausted by the end. Oh, I also put up a few tin flowers I made at the demo garden on Monday, thanks to another Master Gardener who was showing us how it's done. Maybe I'll get a picture up later...
