Garden updated
After some false starts, replants, serious weeding and re-mulching, the garden is doing pretty well now.
And now the "in progress" shot:

BLT
The BLT - Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato - is my family's traditional way of celebrating the first tomatoes of the season, and last night, I had a BLT. Homegrown tomatoes are simply lightyears beyond anything you can buy at stores or even farmers' markets. I'd think/hope that the farmers' markets could produce produce (heh) on par with homegrown, but it just doesn't work out that way.

How does your garden grow?
So midway through the suck that we call spring semester I started a small garden (it was supposed to be bigger, but I never got around to renting a tiller and there's only so much digging one guy can do to go from rocky and full of random filldirt junk to nice garden-bed).
Despite the soil sucking (with some help from some yard mulch), I got lucky with some insanely excellent tomato vines which are breaking my stakes with the weight of their frickin' huge tomatoes. My habaneros sprouted like crazy, had some problems with their transplanting, but are back and happy now (my jalapenos never sprouted). The squash as evident from the photos are going gangbuster. There's a potato plant hidden in the middle of there somewhere.
