Grounded

Saturday dawned cool (thankfully) and humid (can't have everything I guess).  I commenced hoeing and picking and planting.  I picked a small mess of peas, eating about every third pod.  Fresh peas are so, so good.  It appears that rabbits are going to be a problem this year.  Several small plants showed decided signs of nibbling and the broccoli was gone (I don't think it was meant to be).  Then it was on to the new garden plot.  I planted my 6 back up tomato plants from Home Depot as well as my 10 tomato twigs I started from seed.  Also sunk into the ground were 8 pepper plants of various varieties.  In went a couple of short corn rows and the mounds for cantaloupe, watermelon, squash and zucchini.  Then the real experiment was planted.  25 sweet potato plants were sunk into luxury dirt mounds.  I say luxury because to create big enough mounds I had to supplement with some super fortified garden soil from Home Depot.  Then Sunday, there was a nice rain to settle everything in.   I expect a harvest by next Saturday. ; )
