I planted my garden today.

I have the north-east corner plot at the Umi community garden (anyone else notice that a significant chunk of my social life takes place there?) and I have planted The Following:

Butternut squash
Buttercup (I think) squash -- though some of them may have been pumpkin
Romano pole beans (steaming beans)
Blue Lake pole beans (fresh-eating beans)
Sweet corn (yellow, not peaches and cream)
and
Two kinds of tomatoes -- those were from Umi (they were giving away pepper plants and tomato plants for reasons I do not know but am happy to take advantage of) -- one kind is (probably) grape tomatoes, the other kind: I have no idea. We shall see. :-)


I'm lucky. My plot is right by the (soon to be finished?) fence. So I'm going to train the squash and beans along it, which should help eliminate the need for trelising and, with any luck, will mean that I keep my plants out of other people's gardens.

I've still got a fair chunk of plot left over, so suggestion are welcome. I know Raynedaze has suggested tomatillos. I'm also wondering if I could stick some fava beans and/or ruby chard in there. :-)

No perenials, I do know that.


Anyway. We'll see what grows. :-)



To do this weekend:
Dishes (at least some of them)
Laundry ('cause I have loonies now)
Return wine bottles, etc, to the Beer Store for loose change


There may be a long bath and a visit with Hex and/or Seanchaidh as well. That'd be nice. :-)
