On May 25, 2010, there was still water standing from the rain. Here is a photo of ducks swimming in our yard.

We went back to Lowe’s for more supplies. I had planned on hanging some “Topsy-Turvy” bags with tomato plants near the new garden and also needed to put up string and wire for cantaloupes and cucumbers, so we bought three 4"x4"x8' treated posts.

The book had said to use nuts and bolts to put together the lathe strips to divide the garden, but I thought that was too expensive. I bought some 5/32 x 1 cotter pins instead.

We went to a local garden center and bought some more plants and seeds. Those included a couple of Stevia plants and some Fordhook lima beans.
