May Garden Update

The spring garden is growing with the transplanting of our heirloom tomato and pepper seedlings.  Watching the plants develop from sprouting seeds to small seedlings has been amazing.  The plants are doing remarkably well in a warm spot along the side of the house, where the stucco helps to keep the ground and plants warm.  The new radish and carrot seedlings are all emerging as little plants to accompany the tomatoes.

The heirloom tomato varieties that were planted include Black Cherry, Brandywine, Aunt Lucy's Paste, Mary Robinson's Bicolor, Pruden's Purple, Bicolor Mortgage Lifter, Old Ivory Egg, Flamme, and Speckled Roman.

                           Our mini-bell, multicolored pepper plants.

While planting our new plants, we were also able to harvest another handful of carrots and the first of the radishes!

We also planted some green beans and cranberry beans in the back of the herb garden.  The bamboo frame was constructed and is now ready for the climbing vines!
