Aimless Tangents

Last night I finally got the four piddly looking tomato plants in the ground and the marigolds between them.  My garden is fully planted.

Along the back fence I have eight zucchini plants, four tomato plants, and a marigold between each plant.

(I told you the tomato plants were piddly looking…)

In my “Needs to be raked, again” area I’ve got a container garden going.  Two strawberry plants, on rosemary, one thyme, two basil, two bell pepper plants, and a sage.

I need to get out there and rake/sweep and rearrange the pots for better growing conditions.  The herbs have taken off and gotten crazy big.  The pepper plants actually have blooms this year so I’m hopeful I’ll actually get peppers for once.  I’ve already done a small harvest of the basil and it was tasty.

The zucchini plants are small but already covered in blooms so I have no doubt that in a few weeks I’ll be up to my ears in zucchini.  Some of them will no doubt end up donated to the local food pantry.

Oklahoma suddenly got hot this week.  It means I don’t really want to spend my time out in the shop working on things like I should.  I’ve got a bench I need to refinish, a chair to paint, and a few other small projects to finish.
