It's that time again....garden catching up time!
We're about seven weeks in, and I'll tell you, it takes all the strength I have not to go to the garden and start pulling up the potatos and onions and beets to see how they are coming along. Then I would re-plant them, you understand, so they will keep growing. I have been advised that this would not work. Drat.
Let's start with some lettuce. It's coming along very well. We made BLT sandwiches with some last week.
Here are the radishes. They are HUGE. I pulled one last night, and when I cut it open it was all brown and obviously rotten on the inside. I was upset. But just now I ran back out there and pulled another. They are white, and long like carrots. This was one good - I just had a bite, and it's mildly peppery. My camera batteries are on the charger right now so you will have to take my word for it.
Carrots, slowly coming along. They're certainly no radishes.
Spinach! I'm pretty excited about when these will be bigger, although I've already sneaked some tastes.
Beets. I think the heat is getting to them, the poor tops aren't looking good.
The zucchini's have really really grown this week.
And, oh, what's that?? Could it be......a zucchini!?!?!
This is one of the heirloom tomato plants my Mom and Dad brought us last month. This one's called Stupice. I just Googled that, and they are a small red tomato from Czechoslovakia. There's 6 tomatos on this one.
Blurry possible beginnings of peppers.
This is another Heirloom tomato - this one is Early Red. My Google search turned up nothing, but let's assume these tomatos will be red and will mature early in the season, shall we?
My potatos. I can't WAIT until these are ready, I'm a real potato fiend.
The heat and sun aren't being kind to the poor onions either.
My basil from seed is actually growing, which shocked me. Here's the biggest plant so far.
Here's some more basil.
A full view of the garden.
So update me! How are your gardens coming? What did you plant that's doing really well? Are you harvesting stuff yet?
Happy Saturday!
