quick visit

i trained more vines up the trellis. the garden is growing like mad. I still feel like the vertical bed is planted too densely. though i did read from a agriculural experiment (university or virginia or mississippi) that tomatoes will yield more pounds per acre when planted at 1 ft intervals-- but have larger fruit at 2 ft intervals.

it looks like deer have learned to lean in from the fence to eat leaves off of the trellisses-- there's a grazed appearane to the cucumber and squash leaves about 36" off the ground. I don't want to meet a rabbit that can do that!

i think the zuchini is a bush variety and not the vining sort. oh well!

i watered the strawberries, 2 gallons per bed. i turned the water on at the sprinkler for 60 minutes for the vegetable beds.... what a timesaver!

I'm going to bein new york from July 27 to August 2.
