My week in numbers (April 26 to May 2)

A little taste of what I’m doing in the garden…

35 - gallons of weeds (seven 5-gallon buckets) pulled from the spinach beds in one greenhouse

23 - pounds of spinach harvested from only two 100 sq ft beds

10 - inches lengthwise of one of the very big spinach leaves

38 - number of twisty-ties holding up the pea trellis net

160 - pea plants transplanted on Thursday

21 - gallons of compost tea applied to strapping young plants

5 - seconds it should take water to sink in and for your dirt to lose its glossiness when a bed is “well-watered”
