Dude. Guess what I had for dinner.

Yum, yum, gimme some! I had quite the meals today! For lunch-LETTUCE from the garden! For dinner-stir fry with BOK CHOI and CILANTRO from the garden! Woohoo! All I can say is that both were absolutely amazing.

I have some good news, and tons of bad news about this bad boy. First off, the good stuff. Four of the six tomato plants have itsy-bitsy tomatoes on them and they all have tons and tons of blossoms. The greens bean plants are starting to climb my chain link trellis and look like they will be coming in just fine. The sugar snap peas, yellow squash, cabbage, cucumbers, and assorted peppers seem to be right on schedule. Sounds great, right? Well, here's the bad. TONS of grass still all over this bad boy. I'm tilling in between every row and each individual plant at least once a week, and I'm still getting waaaaay too much grass popping up in between. It's a little frustrating, to say the least. My yellow beans were over run by grass and weeds and I've had to till them up and start over in that section. No swiss chard. No beets. Only one or two okra plants out of 20. They'll be replanted this week. Corn is growing very, very slowly and I'm not too hopeful. My old guy's corn next door is already up to knee level. Jerk. That's the last time I help him till anything up.

I've come to the realization that I have too much space and not enough plants. My pops-in-law encouraged me to put in some field peas, so I'll probably do a couple bushes of those and a couple bushes of black beans. They'll go in this week too. I've got four different kinds of hot peppers coming up now-anaheim, jalapeno, poblano, and habanero. I've got a couple friends that absolutely love spicy stuff, so I'm gonna drop a little hotness on them.

I'll put some more pics up in the next couple days, but I spent about three hours out there today, so I'm pooped. Have a good one!
