Thursday I had a halfday off from work to go to a local pro-am golf tournament sponsored by one of our suppliers. Ashley and I went long enough to bum some food and beverages and watch a few people putt. The tourney was fun, but we were most excited to have an afternoon to play together. Ashley agreed to help me plant a few things and then we took Scout for a nice walk downtown at Cleveland Park. It was a really good day.
We managed to plant 3 things. First, we planted a patch at the front of the garden with a mixture of sunflower varieties. It’ll be the first thing you see when you look at the garden from the house. Second and third, we planted a patch of alternating sweet corn and green beans. This is a combination the indians used to plant (two of the “three sisters”). The beans provide nitrogen for the corn and the corn provides a place for the beans to climb.
Today we planted some more. We did a couple landscaping things and then we planted two six foot rows of okra and two six foot rows of lima beans. I’ll need to build trellises for the limas sometime this week.
