Update on my poor garden

     
The poor cabbage,
it's getting eaten alive!!
















The lettuce is being drowned.
Storm after storm after storm.
I step in the garden and it squishes here.










The tomatoes look good tho.
No tomatoes yet, just flowers.







The parsley looks good tho!










Here's my garlic chive.
The purple flowers are drying up.










The yellow banana peppers are
doing VERY well!!  I have several.

Garden update-pics taken 6/12

The Simpson lettuce is looking good, but the Arugula never took, even after the 2nd planting after the washout.
 
What you see littered everywhere is grass clippings.  We have found that gardens LOVE grass clippings!
This is budding of the yellow banana peppers.
  
Darn those rabbits!!!  These peas were LOTS taller the day before!!
This is cabbage.
  
3yo grape vines.

The Garden is finally all in!!

 
In the front here is tomatoes.  There are 6 of 6 different kinds.
To the left all fluffy is chive.
The center has 9 yellow banana peppers.
The fencing along the left is for peas, those seeds went in 2 weeks ago, but the far fence batch all were flooded out, so we had to reseeded today.
Off to the extreme left right in front that you can't see is flat-leaf parsley.
I'll talk about the far end in a minute...

 
Here we are looking at the pea fence.  Growing up the chainlink fence behind the garden are 2 (3yo) seedless green grape vines.  They have cute little grapes started.  Our neighbor there 'kindly' directs all his water right into our garden area!  That's why we had the flooding sooo bad where things got washed out last week.  ggrr...

Okay, the other end.  Now you see the pea fence on the right side.  Along the left is a row of 6 cabbages.  Toward the center of the garden are 6 each of broccoli, califlower, brussle sprouts planted in 2's. (so, 3 plantings essentially.  I did the tomatoes the same way)
It's hard to tell, but there is a row of black-seeded-simpson lettuce in front of the peas.  Right in the center is a furrow we just dug for roquette arugula.  We had it planted, but it got washed out last week with the other peas.  ggrrr....  Luckily the simpson lettuce survived.

So, here is the start of my garden for the year.  Hopefully things don't get flooded out again!


We lost a garden claw in the process...
We'd already lost a hoe too this year.
