I worked in the garden in between the rain storms of the day. I was able to get quite a bit done on my trellis area of the yard. I decided that this year I am going to try vertical gardening on the trellises. This will give me more room in the bed I usually use and also it is an away from the area where I have the squash vine borer worms. The area had some weeds so I removed those. It also is not the best soil - there are many rocks in this area. I put down some Miracle Gro Organic Choice Soil in this area to help amend the soil and to give me something good to plant in. I planted Lemon Cucumbers, Early Russian Cucumbers, Butternut Squash, Yellow Crooked Neck Squash and Green Bush Beans. I hope that this upward growth will keep the fruits from rotting and give me a good yield. Check back to see how it it is going. Here are some photos I took to show my work.
