Lookin' good! It doesn't look like you have mulch down
all over. I see lots of grass in your yard. Take all of the
grass clippings and spread them around your plants. It
will help retain moisture during the hot days and when
the year is done, dig it into the dirt.

The two plots are about 6'-7' wide each. I dug them last year and plan to move the tomatos to another plot, for rotation.

Actually I did put down a lot of grass clipping and the tall weeds I pulled from the Iris bed in front of the tomatoes. The ground in front of the bed was all grass before.

There are still some small weeds under the plants. I pull some of them, but not all of them since the bird netting blocks the access. It is not a big prob since they are shaded under the big tomato plants.

I plan to dig another vegie plot and fence this vegie section with tall wires. So I can grow other vegies and do not have to worry about deers, rabbits and some birds.

This is a low maintenence garden. This year I hardly water them. No fertilizer of any kind. I just tried to mix some compost to the soil in the spring.

Looking good. Wish I had that much real estate in NJ.
