This week in the garden was one for the books. While I was excited to see that my vegetables really seemed to be taking off, I am sad to report that I had to compost my veggies. I'm personally convinced that nothing will grow back in their places, but Libby assured me that this will not be the case. Anyways, after the usual weeding, spraying of BT/Neem, fertilizing, and unfortunate composting of my vegetables, I set up some trellises for my bean plants (poor things fell over with the weight of the beans). Final order of business--took some pictures (see below) and called it a day.

This week in class we talked about the different plant parts. We discussed what classifications many of the plants in our garden fall into. My root crops are beets, carrots, and turnips. The only bud crop that I have is my lone cabbage plant. My leaf crops are lettuce, onions, and (if it ever emerges) basil. My flower crops are the cauliflowers and squash plants. For fruit crops, we have tomatoes, cucumber, eggplants, peppers, beans, and peas.
