Slightly more dry!

Hello Readers,

     Things are looking up! The ten-day forecast is predicting (mostly) sunshine and warmer weather. It looks like summer might finally, reluctantly, climb out of bed. I took some pictures of both gardens, which you can view here. Mostly, the pictures are of the plants at the Rosengarden. There are also some older pictures of the tropical bed at South Campus (pre-deer attack) and some pictures of the birds I mentioned before. In terms of projects, this week has been a fairly productive one. The grass at South Campus has started to struggle through the mulch-paths already, so all the paths are due to have a fresh layer of wood-chips by the end of the week. I've mulched, Sluggo'd, and fertilized the corn/beans/squash in an effort to help them survive until good weather appears, and a new bed at SC is almost ready. The Goji berries at the Rosengarden don't seem to be able to support themselves, so I built them small trellises and re-vamped all of the pea trellises as well. The tallest of our pea varieties looks like it's going to outgrow its 8 foot trellis! I've been pampering the cherry tomatoes at the Rosengarden because they've been shuffled around so much, and they seem to be recovering. That's all for now!

 Have a good weekend,
 Lucien
