SUNDAY UPDATE!
Row-Column: Description
1-1: Main Garden
1-2: The 3 gourd plants continue to grow at a rate of about 6-8 inches per day. They've entangled the sunflowers and are threatening to smother the tomatoes. The walkway is ever decreasing and at least one tendril had latched onto the fencing since last evening. Send help.
1-3: The older purple majesty potatoes seem to be nearing their life cycle. They are getting "that look" and are starting to lay down.
2-1: The pumpkin plants have spilled out onto the walkway now. The tomato plants are still a little crowded, but I'll be taking even more suckers off for cloning. They are doing quite well. The entire row sounds like a nest of bumble bees from all the pollinating going on.
2-2: The eldest of the purple majesty potatoes. They are laid down for the most part and starting to turn a tinge yellow. Purple Majesty potatoes have an 80 days to 135 days for days-to-maturity cycle depending on the internet source. These are 71 days old since the last frost kill the tops.
2-3: This bed has very shallow soil overtop of nearly pure clay local soil. As a result, that sunflower will need to be tied up when I tie up the tomatoes. The pepper plants in this bed are super slow growing too. The onions, catnip, and tomatoes love it.
3-1: The yellow zucchini plants are getting pretty big and have started producing.
3-2: The asparagus is getting out of hand. I'll need to tie it back to keep it from falling on the pepper plants.
3-3: The vine plants in this bed are really taking off. Most have spilled into the walkway and reached the top of the cattle panel.
It is really nice not needing to weed as much simply because of how dense the vegetable plants are.
