Today, planted the bell pepper, tomato, cucumber and eggplant sendlings into the garden. Got some "mystery seed" seedings from a very nice gardener...through a very special and dear friend, that will be going out in just a bit. (there is a bit of excited anticipation, there).
The bush beans are growing pretty fast, now. The carrots (1st time planting....ever) are starting to show fern-like tops. Have had to cover the taters with hay four or five times, already, as they are growing so fast, you can almost see it happening. The collards, lettuce, onions, brocolli and spinach have all hit "spurts", too. Strawberries are loaded with tiny berries and blooms. The sugar snaps are blooming. The beets and swiss chard are coming along...just slower than the rest of the plants. All in all....it's looking more and more like a garden.....an allotment garden, that is.
