Tortoise's 2018 garden(s)

[tortoise]

I'm sure the weed seeds will come up and grow like crazy! . I hadn't been out for 2 days because of storms. DH went out to try his flame weeder (xmas gift to himself). He said there's a lot of weeds. :grumble:

Yep - they thrive when nothing else does...

All that rain will work in your favor in the long run. Your transplants will thrive.

Hoe and grow and hoe and grow.... Prettiest garden I've ever worked on! I had to take photos quick before it gets overrun with weeds.

Tomatoes are growing!!!

Wood chips are here!!! Pile looks so small.... until I start trying to move it!

Woo Hoo! It really looks good. I can certainly identify with the weeds though... I need to mulch all over again.

I think they need sunlight. I never turn the florescent lights off on my seed table once seeds germinate. I also have the lights about an inch about them at all times and raise them as they grow

Your garden does look good! If you could get cardboard, lay it between the rows, then mulch over it.

Will newspaper work to keep weeds down? I plan to cover it with compost or grass clippings...

It beats nothing. I used paper feed sacks and newspaper before and it helped.

They will also rot into the ground.
