The Garden is Finally on the Grow!!

There has been much worry about this years growing season since our summer started so late, and we had such strange noteworthy weather this past winter. Our plants are starting to jump in major leaps in height. I am now very grateful for the quality of soil at my parents house. They've been cultivating it for 30 some years, I just started from Willamette Valley scratch. Read: Lots of clay. Since we live on a major highway, we are also collecting massive amounts of weed seed, the back of the garden in the picture is only 30 ft. from highway 99.

Forrest is getting tons of weeding experience in. He planted a "Native-American Garden". Corn, squash, peas, & beans all together. In theory, the corn grows up, the peas & beans climb the corn, and the squash keeps down the weeds. The seeds have sprouted but are having trouble as we have no irrigation ran out there. The idea is that we will have a great Fall Crop...... to be continued.
