    My garden is full. The front yard is next, I think. I still have the summer squash and some cherry tomatoes to plant.
    In my garden (12 ft x 20 ft) I have planted and mulched 14 tomato plants, 8 pepper plants, four jalapeno and 4 sweet banana, 3 eggplant, 2 Japanese long purple, one white, about a dozen cucumbers, some will climb the fence, some are bush type, 60 sweet onion sets, a short row of pole beans along one fence, 11 climbing rose bushes along three side fences, some iris's that Toni sent me and some pots of marigolds and petunias and some nastursiums. Do you think I will be able to walk in it when things start to grow?
    I still have the zucchini and yellow summer squash and some tomatoes that I planted from seed that will need to go somewhere. I do have a little 10x10 spot where I can put things but it's shady most of the time. It does get some afternoon sun.
    I'll need to water it quite a lot this summer because it's still pretty dry here.
    I still have lettuce and spinach and kale and swiss chard in tubs and have herbs in pots or tubs. I think I must be about done planting stuff, except for flowers.

    I am working on posting pictures. So far, they are either too big or too small. I'll read the instruction book some more. I finished planting the zucchini and yellow summer squash this afternoon and now it's rest time. I did water most everything and now it's starting to drizzle a bit so maybe we'll get some rain tonight.

    Geez Dooley... hope you left a little trail so you can get in there! I hope you get some of that rain... I'm wishing for it too.

    Well Dooley, looks like you need rest and some rain. We can all hope for rain. You can, however, take a rest. Good luck figuring the software as we are all wanting to see garden pictures. Put a chair out near the garden and rest every so often.
