This has been the driest spring. Seeds were planted and just sat there. I watered, but still nothing sprouted. Then all of the sudden, things started happening! And today...
The first tomatoes!!! These cherry tomatoes were actually growing in a hanging bag on the back porch, of all places! Here's how the garden is looking:
As you can see, we also have a bit of playground in the garden. I can fence the little people in with me and not worry about a certain someone going into the barn to eat chicken poop or something like that.
More tomatoes are turning! Cherries above and Roma's below! So exciting!!!
I need a good crop of tomatoes to make our salsa to last for a year. I only have one jar left of last year's salsa. Will we make it???
I had no idea what to expect when Dad's uncle gave me these "Sweet Spot" pepper plants. That long one is not what I was expecting! I thought they were going to be a bell type. The pepper below is "Garden Salsa" which will also be used for our salsa. I also have some jalapeno and Anaheim peppers.
I have never, ever had onions that actually made a bulb! And this year, I do! Even the purple onions!
We will have squashes running out of our ears soon, but that's ok! I planted zucchini, yellow squash, butternut, and spaghetti squash (below)!
I had to plant seeds 3 times, but finally have some Swiss chard growing. Not fabulous, but at least it's there.
Beautiful days for being outside lately and we're all enjoying our time in the garden!
