Tonight we added straw between the rows of veggies and also leaf compost around each plant. The thought is the straw will help keep down the weeds in the row and the leaf compost will help preserve the moisture in the soil around the plants. The soil at this garden is still mostly clay underneath, but in some areas some topsoil has been added. We've got to be careful with temperatures staying above 90 a number of days that we keep the plants watered. One plant has a few small tomatoes, but we got a late start with that garden. I think its looking great though considering this is our first year and a couple of months ago there was grass covering the entire garden area.
