We got our first salad out of the garden yesterday! It was so good that I ate another one for lunch this afternoon. I guess we got lucky and planted it at just the right time. It was hard to gauge when that might be with all the rain. I would love to post pics, but this forum doesn't let my pics go through anymore.
The lettuce and kale was almost too pretty to pick! ALMOST!
Tomatoes already have tiny red tomatoes on them. The cuke plants are getting big enough to have to trellis. I planted lettuce and kale starts for eating at the beginning of summer and some from seeds that will be ready to eat later in July and after. The pepper plants seem to be growing slower that I had hoped, but will probably catch up once the heat kicks in. The corn is about 1 and a half feet tall. The beans, radishes, carrots, cantelope, broccoli, cauliflour, watermelon and snap peas are growing right along. Only thing that didn't seem to come up was celery and I haven't ever had much luck with that.
I also made two herb gardens on each side of the outside of our greenhouse. Let's see....basil, oregano, cilantro, thyme, mint, chocolate mint, chives, and some marigolds (just because I love yellow).
Other than some marigolds around the flagpole at the end of the driveway, that is it for my planting this year.
Oh.. I did plant a hybrid peach tree (actually 2, but one didn't fare well in shipping) that should bear fruit year after next. Think I will plant several more next year.
