It was good to have two days of the weekend with perfect gardening weather. Rainy Sundays had become commonplace and we were anxious for a change. We were able to plant all of our vegetables with the exception of several plants that we are holding back waiting for that perfect spot.
Every year we emphasize certain vegetables based on what we need. Decisions, decisions. For instance, green beans were in abundance in our garden last year but this year we're cutting back mainly due to the amount we still have on hand in the freezer.
Last year we also focused on cucumbers because we had depleted our supply of homemade pickles. We increased the number of plants to 18 and had a great harvest. This year we increased it again to 30 plants. We also started some indoors from seed. Cucumbers can be finicky to grow especially with the type of weather we had in April but we are hoping for another great harvest in our backyard garden.
