My tomatoes are all planted and the straw mulch in place. The marigolds are happily along side. Basil seeds are not yet sprouted. I had to plant the Campari and Principe Borghese tomatoes in metal pots because they won’t need trellising.
The middle bed has all the vegetables started directly in the ground as seeds. Again this year I tried to minimize the damage caused by squirrels and chipmunks who dig for acorns and destroy the seed bed. I built a frame out of 2 X 2 lumber and 1/4” hardware cloth on the sides and top. After covering two sections I noticed there was no digging damage and decided to leave the other two uncovered.
The third bed was used to temporarily hold some hostas we moved. I managed to plant some butternut squash. I took one side down to let them spread on the grass. The walking onion just keeps spreading.
