Gardening through Neglect

Other than watering now and then I haven't done much in the Intervale since straw day. I did go weed the amaranth and half of the quinoa tonight though I didn't think to take a pic. The quinoa got mulched but the amaranth is still a little small.

That said, the garden is doing great! The peas and favas are blossoming, the beans are growing, the onions are huge and the tomatoes have settled right in.

Side story: I spent most of last week getting my Craftsbury garden ready and planted only to have a frost on a night when the expected low was 45F. I'm waiting to see what comes back from the abuse but it wasn't looking good yesterday and they may have gotten another frost last night. Vermont gardening is rough.
