I plan to harvest some veggies today. A few tomatoes, a few green beans, some side shoots of broccoli since all the main heads are gone, and maybe a cucumber and an eggplant. The okra doesn't seem to want to get higher despite the warmer days now. I guess I need to try some fertilizer. I am into organic, so I'll give them some fish fertilizer. The pumpkin vines are bearing lots of flowers, but only two pumpkin fruits are showing so far.
My lame perennial bed is going to get things dug up today even though it is "too early". I will also put other things in the ground. The strawberries have never done much, so I'm thinking of just removing them -- they don't bear much fruit.
The lavender at the back needs to be moved forward, and the chamomile with the metallic tasting flowers could be thinned, since it's only ornamental. I'll also greatly thin the fast spreading campanula that I planted a few years ago...it is too aggressive. I like the flowers but not at the sacrifice of everything else. Some of the pinks haven't bloomed in a few years either, so they might need more compost and maybe dividing. Not sure. Anyway, this is a multiple day project and I need compost to really fix the soil. One small compost pile with a pumpkin growing in it won't do the trick for me.
That's the plan at this point. I'll post what I actually do later.
