It could be better in terms of consistency (lots of clay), but maybe we can address that better next spring. <BR/><BR/>The hay seems to be working better for those who put a nice thick bed down. Ours, unfortunately, was not so thick. It does, however, also help to keep moisture in the soil. For that, our paltry layer has been sufficient.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212452090036526603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-57251134336205041452008-06-25T12:07:00.000-05:002008-06-25T12:07:00.000-05:00What a great idea to use hay to keep the weeds at ...What a great idea to use hay to keep the weeds at bay.

I was very excited to see the roma's progress, especially since our two other tomato plants are, well, dead.<BR/><BR/>Our broccoli is sure growing, just not producing fruit, I think heat may be the problem here too.<BR/><BR/>Courtney - Thanks! I am so pleased with the container garden. In all honesty, the community garden, while I'm excited with it's progress, isn't doing very well, at least not when we compare our plot with others', but the container garden is flourishing.<BR/><BR/>You bet there will be muchos Mexican in our future.<BR/><BR/>Veggie Girl - They are moving along nicely.<BR/><BR/>Alice - I know, I am especially impressed with the peppers! I was so worried about the seeds even sprouting, who would have thought I would have made it this far. I am learning so much!<BR/><BR/>Jessy - I'm so glad you do, I really thought people would ignore these posts and think they are boring. <BR/><BR/>Hehehe. I get so excited everytime I see a little pepper, you would figure I would be over it by now! But they are just too cute.<BR/><BR/>John - Thanks! We are lucky that it doesn't get nearly as hot here as it does where you're from, and we have shade on the porch to keep the plants from really cooking.<BR/><BR/>Vegan_Noodle - The chocolate bell peppers are one of our 'experimental plants' (as is the "super chile"), as I have never had them before. I was intrigued by their color and the little tag said they were good in stir-fries.<BR/><BR/>Marissa - No problem, you have a great blog! Thanks! I love Columbia, out of all the places I've lived, it is my favorite.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-3082313862284961932008-06-25T09:04:00.000-05:002008-06-25T09:04:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment!
