Week 12 - Growing and Shading

Time in: 10am
Time out: 2pm



Holy Adillos! It has been about 15 days since I took a pic of the overall garden and there has been considerable growth - Here's a May first and a May fifteenth picture juxtapoxed.




Last Monday, we followed through with our plans to build a 8x10 ft. frame for a shade awning in front of the clematis plants to be sure they don't burn in the summer heat.



Thank you uncle Greg for helping to cut and sew the shade cloth and thank you Steve and Jared for building the frame!


It has been about a month since the plants were given an extra boost. This time, we used Gro-Power. 100% organic and made strictly from humus.




Some beautiful moments:





The first flower of the white clematis plant in bloom. In particular, this clematis is called Clematis pfordtii.











We got a couple of tomato plants growing out of the lower holes in the compost heap. Does anyone know what the one on the top is?...







The squash plants seem to be enjoying themselves.






I had no idea that eggplants have thorns!











A growing cuke. Hiding beneath the shade of its large, green leaves.











The tallest and largest tomato plant is called Marriane's Peace.
