The garden is finally starting to look like it might produce stuff eventually! We’ve had enough rain so even the grass doesn’t have brown spots, like last summer. The rain barrels are now empty…all water was moved up to the large tank by the garden yesterday. Just in time, it’s supposed to rain later this week!
Yesterday, the radishes looked ready, so I pulled them all! Nice crop. A little spicy but tasty. I’ll replant the spaces with the same radish seed, but alternate in each section.
The Black Seeded Simpson lettuce is filling out. The leaves will make a loose head and should be crisp.
The Little Gem leaves are starting to curl and should make small heads…just right for a single serving!
The yellow pear tomato plants look really healthy but I’m glad we planted only two…they can be quite prolific.
The zucchini plants look good!
The sugar snap peas are finally reaching out. Bert added a coated wire grid to help them get started in climbing.
Up in the big garden, the bed of lavender is going nuts! I can see I’ll have a lot of lavender buds to work with this year.
The green and yellow beans are coming along!
The tomato plants continue to fill out.
And, of course, the echinacea is reaching for the sky. You can see the flowers just about ready to bloom.
That’s the tour for today! Gardening is definitely a process, with lots of “waiting” time. However, I’m anticipating the harvest, as I make sure I have a plan for each of the vegetables. Zucchini, green beans and tomatoes can quickly get out of control. Such fun!
