News You Can Bruise for 2005 May 9 (entry 1)

(5) Mon May 09 2005 10:59 PST: Yesterdate, the 8th of May, I installed seeds in my garden. Sunflowers, watermelons, corn, and "garden beans" (As opposed to beans that grow in the rec room? They look like green beans so I planted them.). I mention this so that I'll have a record of when I planted these things. I don't remember when I planted the potatoes, so I don't know when to reap the harvest. I don't even know how potato plants work. I guess I'll find out when I dig one up.

Still to plant: canteloupe, pumpkin. Already planted: potatoes, rhubarb, garlic.

My mother says there's no way to know what to grow: you just have to plant things and see if they die or not. Nothing grew when I planted last year, but I planted way too late and also the soil in my backyard was all dead. Not even weeds were growing there. I don't have that problem anymore!

I wish I had a garden, sounds like fun.

Squash and cucumbers grew like crazy for me last year, and required very little care, but that might only be the case in my zone, but i think you've probably got a good chance there.

It's like a roll of the dice. C'mon, squash-like things!

I don't think that the phrase is "installed", but that's kind of funny. Be sure to give your beans plenty of room, they grow like crazy.
