Well, I am getting tired of the landlord damaging my raised bed frame when he mows the yard. So I have dug up and killed the grass in a 3 inch strip around the bed. Lets see if that stops the damage or I may end up needing a new frame after only one year.
On happier news, we have our first tomato forming! Looks like a single black berry on the bush too. More than we expected for the first year that's for sure. I got the support beams put in for the cukes, just need some twine or something to use to get it climbing up them. I've taken to breaking up the soil and digging the cuttup weeds into the soil instead of just pulling them and moving them away. Not sure if that will help anything at all.
The raspberry bush looks straight dead but I hold out hope that greenery will come up next spring. In the mean time I added epsom salt to the garden areas and have been watering roughly every 3 days with good results. Much better than last year so far. Fingers are crossed for good returns on all this effort.
