Journal of a Gardener

June 12, 2008

I planted lima beans where the radishes were, completing a 30 foot row.  Between the peppers in the row next to the tomatoes I sowed marigold seeds.  I also planted six hills of Sugar Baby watermelons and two hills of cantaloupes.  I planted my first arugula where spinach did not germinate well earlier.  I side dressed all but the flowers with a dusting of bone meal, urea and muriate of potash and chopped it in with a hoe.

With some space still left at the edge closest to the house and on the south end, I sowed and/or planted Shasta daisies, zinnias, cosmos and sunflowers.
