Garden update

Planted 6 rows of vegetables ahead of the Derby rain:  Lima beans, slenderette green beans, Oriental cucumber, Armenian cucumber, zucchini and yellow squash.  Started watermelon and cockscomb in seed packs, sowed cosmos and zinnia in the butterfly garden.  Spent the rest of the weekend weeding the onion rows.
