Finally had a day when the confluence of weather, dryish ground and time (been in Minn-e-sota the last week or so...shhhh don't tell Mom that I didn't have time to stop by and see her) In the ground and looking mighty fine a Tomatoes Better Boy (X6) Beefsteak (X6) Roma (X6) Cherokee Purple Beefeater Peppers Salsa Pepper (X6) Jalapeno (X2) Orange/Yellow/Green Bell (X6) Fooled Ya (Jumbo Jalapeno without the heat) Cucumbers Zucchini Squash Yellow Squash Watermelon Cantaloupe Coming up next week will be: Peas Green Beans Corn Sunflowers Variety of ornamental flowers Later on we'll plant the Pumpkins Update on the perennial crops.... Cherries are about 1-2 weeks away from being ready to pick Apples, Peaches, Pears & Blueberries are having a banner year and I have plums for the very first time on a tree that just turned 4 years old. KW I have very little planted, but getting started. Onion sets are up good, and so is the mint. I've set out 2 Better Boy tomato plants (small ones) and a couple of big basil plants that Mrs. bought for me. The volunteer dill is coming up all over the place. And the way too many year-old carrot plants (the carrots are impressive the 2nd year; they'll get 6 feet tall and bloom like Queen Anne's Lace) I don't ever harvest the carrots; they aren't any good. I just let them reseed every year and leave a few for cut flowers. I have 2 more Better Boy plants to set out this weekend, and a little pot full of Roma seedlings and another pot with a few Stupice seedlings. Also planning to grow jalapeño and de arbol peppers, hybrid okra, Tatume squash, pole beans, sunflowers, radishes, and more basil. I need to get the radish and bean seeds in the ground. The rest can wait another week or two; don't want to rush it cuz the nights are still too cool. My tomatoes look kind of purple from getting chilled, but they are growing so I'm not worried. I haven't decided whether to plant the sunflowers in the flower bed or in the garden. I should probably put them in the garden within reach of the pole beans, and put some of the *peppers* (the de arbols) in the flower bed. I haven't seen any volunteer tomatillos yet. The apple tree has a good crop this year, I'll need to thin the fruit. (I should spray it tomorrow) Bob |
