A Beautiful Day in the Garden

May 2.    Spent several hours in the garden on a beautiful may day with temps topping out in the low 80s.

Bed 1:  Mulched broccoli, planted yellow summer squash, and tilled a row.  

Bed 3:  Tilled and planted four rows of Frosty (an early variety; matures in 75 days) and a variety whose label has worn off, but I think it's Silver Queen.  Laid down soaker hose.

Bed 4:  Planted a little patch of sunflower seeds; yellow squash; prepped area for melons.  Plan to grow muskmelons: Sweet 'n Early; Delicious 151.  Watermelon:  Sugar Baby.
