Ah, our organic garden

Our very own tiny slice of the planet, sustainably managed and loved over like a child. This year, however, it got a case of 'dis. There was no time or energy for tilling, planning, planting and the like. So we decided to let it go fallow. It has been 7 years since so why not?

We've decided to "spot plant" certain things close to the house. While the remainder of the garden gets a good coating of clover. This is positive thinking in action, of course. There are several patches of clover, so we HOPE it will spread. Yet there is much weeding to keep up with, so the really rotten plants don't take over and re-seed for a true problem next year.

At the moment though, our beloved garden looks like a scraggly little urchin. It's essentially a field of DILL, CILANTRO and junk! But we've already started the planting. So far we have put in:
* sweet pepper
* jalepeno pepper
* cucumbers, Straight 8
* tomato, Ace
* rosemary, BBQ
* lavender, Munstead

There are also some volunteers so far:
* 6 sweet corn plants
* 1-2 cherry tomatoes
* some mystery squash, naturally
* onions (forgot to pull them last fall)
* the aforementioned dill and cilantro

And many things yet to go in:
* summer squashes, zucchini and yellow
* green beans, bush
* and my beloved zinneas

Strange year to start a blog about gardening, but hey! We are doing our best here. And you never know, we could have one heckuva harvest!
