Weeding, fertilizing, and trellising... AND more rain

I took off work today and decided it was a perfect day to spend quality time in the garden. Damian and I focused on weeding and fertilizing our plants.

Thousands of tiny weeds have emerged and our goal is to keep them under control as much as possible. We picked weeds out by hand and mixed some back into soil. We don't know the best weeding practices yet, but are trying to learn the most we can from our garden this year.

While Damian added some bloodmeal around our plants to supplement the low nitrogen in our soil,  I shortened my sugar snap pea trellises and added some new trellises for our green beans. Then, the rains came again. Only this time the rains were short and followed by beautiful sunshine. We drove home and spotted a beautiful rainbow. I think that means our garden has good luck! :)
