Catching Up

Today I dug up my onions. They are pretty small, but my mom's were too and she said they were still good. I'm sure with more water and food they will turn out nicer next year. I also thinned out my carrots. I read on Gardenweb that someone cooked her thinnings and enjoyed them very much. I only have enough for a small taste, but I am looking forward to steaming them. Then, I pulled up my peas and sad broccoli and weeded the rest of the bed. I was very pleased that the soil was soft and crumbly. It defintely is improving over time.

I transplanted one of the zuccini plants over to the hill with only one plant. Hopefully it will take to its new home nicely.

I forgot to mention that I dusted both beds with diatomaceous earth a few days ago. It is supposed to cut up the ant's exoskeletons so they won't be a problem. However, I noticed there are still a lot of ants on my corn and around. This doesn't seem to be working. So far, they don't seem to be too big of a problem as far as ruining the plants, so hopefully I won't really have to worry about them.
