Adventures in Square Foot Gardening
So we had really bad storms yesterday with up to golf ball sized hail in local areas. Oh no! How would the garden do? (image from WYFF)
I found out when I got home. You know, I never considered holes in the plants. Knocked down – yes – I could imagine that, but these are little. I thought the leaves would just bend under fire. Nope.
Now I know that hail can knock holes right in the leaves of the plants.
Ok – they’ll be fine. At least we’re due for good weather for the next few days!
Week three and I don’t think I’ve killed anything yet (at least unintentionally). All plants are doing well and you can see how they’ve grown. We’ve had a ton of rain here this past week – as a matter of fact, Greg says that I did a great job of organizing the garden watering without actually doing any work!
…
More sprouts – this time the radishes. Can’t wait to see these all grown up in one month!
Sprouts? Really? First of the arugula is coming up after only 3 days! I am fairly sure that they’re actually arugula because they’re sprouting in the grid pattern that I planted. This is like being a new mother. Wait – maybe that isn’t the right comparison, because I’ll wind up ripping their leaves off. I’ll think on it…
So this week calls for rain every day and it was raining very hard this morning. I was worried all day about the plants surviving those huge drops (I know, I know, but this is new to me!) . Happy to report Greg says all is well. I’ll check when I get home.
