stopped by the garden early this morning to see how things were going. i wanted to see how the rain had impacted the asparagus i planted on friday. they like to be well drained...standing water will drown them...and i wondered whether my strategy of digging down to sand before planting was working or if the holes had turned into sumps. i think we're okay...the soil was wet, not sodden....when i picked up a handful from one of the holes no water was draining out of it. time and growth will tell...we'll see what happens as i backfill the holes through the season.
the yams are about six inches tall now and budding so we should be leafing soon and the spinach and arugula are filling in nicely. the savory is small but growing, there are new shoots of that up as well as a couple of more clumps of gamagrass. progress is good but we're not done yet...wheatgrass, tomatoes and teosinte yet to go in and still no movement on potatoes or onions...we're about sixty-five percent of the way there...still work to do.
just so you know...the middle photo is a chinese yam and the bottom is spinach and arugula...and if you do know sorry for offending your knowledge
