Josie and I gave in and went to HD to pick up some plants that were not riddled with holes. Here Josie is rearranging them in the tray on our front porch.
In the back of this picture, the once-shredded spinach making a comeback, along with carrots on the right and some lettuces.
A pretty badly beaten tomato--still putting on new leaves--despite its stem being almost completely severed only an inch from the ground. Perhaps I will ad a bit more dirt around the bottome to stabilize it.
There were three tomatoes together in this ring and they seem to have protected one another a bit. Yes, also this section needs a bit of weeding--it has been 100 degrees for three days so we haven't spent much time in the sunny part of the garden. I did recently discover, however, that this weed, called purslane is edible and apparently very good for you...
Also note the volunteer carrots. They went to seed two years ago and now are everywhere--I'm looking foward to finding out how they taste!
