Doing Well!

The garden is growing along.  Hubby did a lot of work in it this weekend when I was out of town and we had some good rain on Friday.  He weeded, pulled the wire from around the strawberry bed (we had it up to keep the cats out).  He went and bought mulch but we haven't gotten it down yet.  He did put down Preen (preemergent product) which forms a gaseous barrier that weed seeds can't penetrate.  It's safe to use right up until harvest time.

We had run out of garden fabric and you can see weeds already coming up through the mulch - argh!

But the garden is just really going.  See the tomatoes in the back?  They went from growing like normal tomatoes to being jungle tomatoes!

This weekend I was up in Virginia visiting my folks.  My Dad's garden is pretty awesome, though they are behind us in weather so it's not all planted yet.  He's about ready to get his planted.  His garden is tiered in levels due to the slope of their yard, but it's pretty massive.

They have been getting alot of rain so it is been hard to get out and plant!  Soon, though!  Their asparagus is already done - their stalks are just gorgeous!  It will be years before ours gets to that point!
