Wifey planted her shallots in the bed formerly occupied by the sunflowers. The Boy picked a harvest of carrots, ground cherries, tomatoes, green peppers, and snacked on some green beans that couldn't have been enjoyable. They were beans I was saving in an attempt to use them for planting next spring. While they did that, I added some topsoil in the flower box I cleared out yesterday and turned all that over.
Shortly thereafter, Wifey transplanted some of the Walking Onion bulbs that had fallen on the ground and started sprouting. I fertilized all of the newly planted items, added bone meal around some of the tomato plants where the fruit wasn't turning red, dead-headed a bunch of marigolds, and supervised some of the picking The Boy was doing. Sorry, no pictures of the boxes with the shallots and onions planted. Didn't think they looked particularly interesting.
Quite a lot was accomplished in 20 minutes!
- Eleven 1" long carrots and four 2" long carrots
- Two 2" long green peppers
- 1.6 oz tomatoes (three of them)
- Two ground cherries
