Food for thought...

Yesterday I decided to give my garden plants some plant food. I mixed it with some warm water and watered them all in hopes to help the little guys grow. I'm beginning to think that the watering is fine, but perhaps the soil is slightly deprived of enough organic matter to nourish the plants. The plant food has nitrogen in it (good for plants) and if it seems to help them grow, my soil might be deprived of enough nitrogen. I need to check my book again and re-read up about the soil and the correct chemicals it requires for healthy grown.

I ordered a new and updated version of the Square Foot Gardening book, but it is out of stock at amazon, so I'm still awaiting arrival on that. I'm hoping it has new info about the square foot method.


Those darn mystery seeds are getting HUGE...I'm flustered at the fact that those darn things grew out of no where and are doing better than anything I'm actually tending to in my own garden! BAH...


Also, this past weekend (i didn't make a post because it's not going to be a permanent thing anymore) my garden had an encounter with pests! Thats right...I planted some new seeds last weekend and something came along and dug them all up and ate them!!!! I'm guessing it was a bird...but at the time i thought it might have been a skunk or a opossum. So i bought some garden wire and wrapped it all around my garden in hopes to keep them out...but after analyzing the situation and asking for some advise from friends, I've concluded an airborne strike upon my garden home base. So the wire will probably come off this weekend, or be reduced because its severely affecting the beauty of my garden!!!!! It looks like a garden prison!!
