Big Weekend...

I was able to get a lot of stuff done in the garden this weekend due to the dry weather, which has been quite the rarity this Spring. 

Added some new crops... okra, sweet potatoes, and onions... all which I have never dealt with before, but look forward to seeing what we get.




Kelly got me a nice wrought iron bench for the garden for our fifth anniversary.


I'm experimenting with growing onions and sweet potatoes in containers this year.


I added a portable pot of marigolds... to help repel cucumber beetles (whom also have a taste for melons, cucumbers, and squash).


I also sowed some nasturtiums seeds in the green bean patch to combat bean beetles.



This chart is a work in progress. 
This is a list of all my current crops and some estimates to harvest (click to see full chart):
