Brentwood Garden

The Brentwood Garden is still not as dreamy as the Reed Garden was, but it is coming along. About three gardens have flowers, tall, bushy flowers, growing among the vegetables. The loam is rich and developed, padding each garden like a thick quilt.

For two years THE COMMUNITY has been working on a community compost. The gardeners added their trash, which made the manager angry and he nixed the project. But..I found the rich soil that has been forming the past two years and dug some out and added it to my garden.

This morning I bought a trout at Winco, head and all and some flaxseed meal. I went to my garden and added the fish(phospherous) to the onions(nitrogen) and potato(potassium), sealed the jar and set it in the sun. This afternoon, when I return to my garden I'll water the pumpkin, watermelon and squash with it and fill it up with water again. I sprinkled the flaxseed meal around my garden evenly and will scratch it in the soil as part of my work this afternoon.

Olivia found a nice big pumpkin plant of a hunters green(dark green) shade growing out of her compost. It is about 13" high and 15" across.
