More planting...and another beautiful evening. How much of this can we stand?

Tonight we tried to get as much planting in as we could before the rain that is due to arrive later tomorrow.  It was sad to see that our Lettuce and Chard that we planted 2 nights ago were a bit wilty.  Gave them a good soaking before we left and with the rain coming they should be fine.

We planted our 4 kinds of squash: Cosrom (Costata Romanesco - striped zucchini), Zephyr (yellow and green summer squash), Magda (a light green Cousa type of summer squash), and Sunburst (yellow patty pan squash).  Also planted radishes with the squash as a flea beetle decoy.  We also put in our 2 tomato plants: Sun gold and Sweet 100 and assorted marigolds.

Two of the squash hills.

We covered the squashes with row cover to keep pest out until the plants are big enough to fend for themselves.

The tomatoes and marigolds.

Finished.

Time to go home and have dinner.
