The garden has been both interesting and frustrating. I’ve found that just because you plant something doesn’t mean it will grow into something you can eat! But I have harvested several salads in the last couple of weeks.
There are several types of lettuce here and some cute, little radishes and 5 (count them!) sweet peas. They were all delish and had the family hunting in their salads for the goodies.
Other results… the broccoli was all flowers and useless. The cauliflower is looking pretty good, I’m guessing. I went out today and it’s leaves were like Swiss cheese from the many perfectly camouflaged caterpillars that were calling it home. I used natures pest remover, my fingers, and gave them a new home over the fence. I hope none hit my son who was mowing on the other side! The cuc plants are still pretty small but they have yellow flowers. The radishes have really taken off and were planted from seed. I’m on my second crop.
Here is my one glorious poblano. Hmmm, how can I stretch one chile relleno to feed 6 people?
Oh, this is funny. This is some kind of subterranean evil that has taken up residence in the yard. It’s a mole or vole or whatever. Lovey went all “Caddy Shack” on it last week with some smoke bombs. I don’t think I ever got a straight answer on whether that business was organic. We still have holes so I’m calling this one for the subterranean’s. Holes, moles, voles. Interesting. There’s probably something to this.
Last picture…
Here is one of the seven different tomato plants. They’ve all got flowers now and even a few baby tomatoes. I hope the timing on the lettuces and tomatoes will coincide.
That’s all for the garden update. How does your garden grow?
