The Garden As of Mid-May

Here are a few pics of the garden as of now. This is the second year that there's had to be fence up around the garden thanks to the deer. 

 We put in a half-dozen tomato plants last night. All of the boxes were refreshed with a mixture of alfalfa meal, bone meal, kelp meal and garden lime last month. 

The buried metal colanders have decomposing compost that will leave nutrients in the soil.  I placed a small mound of mulch where every tomato was planted to help resist the brown leaf disease that's common with tomatoes. It's in most soil and it's in ours. It turns the leaves brown and then they become brittle and fall off just as the tomatoes are beginning to ripen. Not good. 

More vegetables to be planted. Not sure what. Contenders: cucumbers, peppers, scarlet runner beans. 

The owl house is, so far as I can tell, still vacant.
