Here is the tomato patch, Uncle Nick's. They are loving the sun and warmth. The other pic is an emerging green bean plant. They were planted on Friday of last week.




Here are a couple of new pic's from the garden. We have finally have had some warm weather, and things are taking off. The yellow onion patch is doing great. The other picture is a head of broccoli ready to be picked. I steamed some a couple of nights ago and it was so good.

Here is the sunflower patch. They are at several different stages, there are more to come, just put the seeds in the ground. Yes, one little cabbage plant got squeezed out of its patch, it will have to hang out with the sunflowers for the summer.




Here are some pictures of the broccoli patch. It is doing really good. Its starting to form little heads on some of the bigger plants. Steamed broccoli sounds so good, cant wait. You can also see 10 jalapeno plants to the right. The red potatoes are doing well in front, about to have there stalks covered by our recently finished compost.



Been a week or so since the last post. Been pretty busy with it being Derby week. Had alot of fun, it is a shame about Eight Bells, at least she past doing what she loved.
Everything is finally planted. Having decent luck so far, did lose a couple of Roma Tomatoes to the cool nights. Also lost almost all of the cucumbers started inside, but they don't transplant well, so lesson learned.
The first picture is the squash plants. Looks like 5 out of six are going to make it. Didn't fair so well with the zucchini, only 2 out of 6 made it.
The second picture is cilantro for the salsa. It seems to grow over night.
