Today is Saturday, May 25, 2013.  I braved the cold and mist to plant my garden today.  Here are the plants.

 3 tomato plants in this bale

 3 tomato plants in this bale

 1 cucumber on top of this bale

 1 cucumber on the inside edge of the same bale

 1 cucumber on the outside of the same bale

 4 kohlrabi in a 4th bale

 1 pumpkin on the outside edge of a 5th bale

 2 pumpkins on the top of the same bale

 1 pumpkin on the outside corner of a 6th bale

 6 "red sails" lettuce on top of the 6th bale

 1 zucchini on the outside edge of 7th bale

 1 zucchini on the top of 7th bale

 1 zucchini on the end of 7th bale

 1 zucchini on the inside edge of 7th bale

The idea with the vines/crawling plants (cucumbers, pumpkins and zucchini) is that we will train them to cover all the bales.  Instead of trailing out into the grass they will climb up and around the bales.

 These two pictures are the whole layout with tomatoes on the left and zucchini on the right.

I had originally planned only to put stakes and wire on one side of the tomatoes.  But Dan thought that enclosing the whole thing might be better to keep the critters (including Cinder) from eating things.  We got two sides secure (the far side and the end with the bales).  We ran out of time for the other two sides.  Now that we've had enough rain for a little bit, I'll be anxiously waiting for the sun to warm things up more.
