Garden Update

This has been such turbulent week for me. Too many things are happening at once, some good, others not so good. In anycase, my garden seems to be mostly flourishing. The potatoes and the string beans are growing very rapidly, I've already added in about 8 inches of additional compost into my container grown potatoe plants within 2 weeks and the growth of the potatoe plans shows no signs of slowing down. The String bean plants that survived the culling are now beginning to span out. I've put in bamboo stakes to give them a framework to grow on.


The tomatoe plants that I transplanted last week are not doing so well. The stalks seems to have weakened since the transplant.

I'm fairly sure that the bed in which the plants were set down have been properly fertilized and loosened. The problem may be that the soil acidity levels are not compatible with this breed of tomatoe saplings. In anycase, I gave these 2 plants some liquid feed, hopefully this will work.
