The Garden in Early July, with Lessons Learned

 Some lessons:

• Waaaay too much nitrogen this year: everything's shooting up and going to seed. Dig the manure into the ground next time. 
• More space between squashes. Probably need to make something for the Japanese Pumpkins to climb.
• Plant lettuce under tomatoes: better shade for the shade plants. 
• Don't expect so much from the brassicas in the heat of summer. Focus on spring and fall. 
• More calcium in the soils. Too much Blossom End Rot this year.
• Onions & Garlic: Woot! But concentrate on the cooler species in the future. No need to spend a lot of garden space on the cheap stuff. 
• Make sure the peas are Sugar Snaps. Much better.
• It's much easier to stay ahead of the weeds than to play catch-up.
