still waiting

it's been too wet and then too dry. The plants are just not doing well. The beans have so few beans. Everything seems to be growing very slowly. I am worried that we don't have enough pollinators too. I'm trying to hand-pollinate when I can. I'll have to be vigilant with watering this week. 90 degree temps and no rain in sight. But watering has been lots of fun. We got a fan sprinkler, so I water the garden on the one side, and watch the kid have fun on the other!
Next spring (or maybe some this fall) we MUST work on getting the beds in better shape. I really think it's be better to tear out the landscape/railroad ties and make the beds with timber and then we can also extend them at the same time. Then we can amend the soil with a topsoil/compost mix that we can get at a nearby nursery.
That's the plan anyway. We'll see.
