Reflecting on July

As the sands of July come to an end, there were CERTAINLY some lessons learned.

1) squash needs more room.
2) read up on potatoes.
3) plant corn about 4" deep next year for more supportive root base
4) invest in sturdy tomato holders - the standard metal ones are way too flimsy; splurging on fancy ones next year.
5) pumpkins get really really big, be prepared for hit.
6) grow greens vs. lettuce.
7) watermelon is super cool.
8) more carrots/parsnips
9) give each cucumber plant more room so one can see inside its vines.
10) gardening is a LOT of work, but the rewards are starting to be delicious.
