Ok, I know you're probably sick of hearing about the garden by now, but this is important stuff, really.

Yesterday, I planted strawberry plants in the NE corner of the garden (the garden meaning the "fenced garden" from now on). I may have to get a third though, as two may not be enough. I'm also not sure if it will be a problem that they are of two different varieties (Fragaria Junebearing, Fragaria Everbearing). We finished the fence yesterday, all but for putting on a proper gate.

Today was a major planting day. I planted all the tomato and pepper plants, about 20 and 10, and 6 basil plants among the tomato plants. The variety of tomatoes: supersweet, viva italia, and another whose name I'll have to fill in later. Peppers: Ace Bell and Mandarin. I also planted 4 Roma paste tomato plants in large pots by the house - we were running out of room in the garden, and it will be nice to experiment with them; they didn't look too healthy anyway.

I planted two types of sugar peas on both sides of part of the West fence. Also put beans in a patch to the NW of the garden, mainly for nitrogenizing purposes - don't a big fan of green beans.

The previously planted peas are definitely coming up, as well as the beets and swiss chard. I think I see sprouts among the spinach, broccoli and cauliflower as well, but we'll see.

Jason also planted many pumpkins to the East of the garden yesterday, and some gourds around the outside of the SE corner. We were just able to see many of the corn shoots peaking above the soil today. There is also another patch where our old garden used to be where me might plant muskmelons and watermelons.

Ah, the joys of planting a garden...
