So planbreaker and I went out to weed today. She and dfinn had done some already, and now things are looking fine. We have some great lettuce, quite a few cucumbers, some kale, chard and beets, edamame, and peas. The beet/chard/kale rows are a bit sparse in parts, but we may still see some new sprouts. There is a lot of VERY tiny kale. I think that we decided that it wins cutest baby plant. The row along the edge, with the okra and onions is a mystery. There is one small bunch of onions, but as for okra, who knows. I don't have any idea what it looks like, so we didn't weed that row. The area that Jenny and I planted has some sprouts of both squash and beans. The tomatoes that are still around look OK, but most of the peppers have been lost. Over the next few days, I would suggest that we need to do the following:
- Weed the okra/onion row
- Transplant new tomatoes, herbs and peppers
- Weed the beans and squash
- Water daily
I will be out of town tomorrow (Friday) but I will be back Saturday and around for the next few weeks.

Glad to hear it all looks good (except for those pesky peppers). I will water and weed tomorrow (Friday).
i think that we also need to decide on herbs...the thai basil looks rather grim and we never ended up planting anything else.
we'll be in tuscon until monday night, fyi. can we have a fun meeting next week so we can figure out a watering and maintenence schedule?
hungrygirl-- you may want to assess how much of your weeding energy you want to expend tomorrow. the stuff on the right is decent (save for that last row) and the stuff on the left, both weeds and plants) might be too little to be worth it.
i'd totally recommend that everyone go out and check out the garden soon though. it all looks so cute!!
