the news from the garden 2

Lots of blooms, The peas, the potatoes, the zucchini, the pumpkins, The peppers, and the tomatoes!

The round garden is going nuts. The tomatoes dont seem to be doing much since we moved them out from the green house. But they are defiantly surviving. Mustard greens are hard to keep up with. You cut the leaves off and they are back the next day. The garlic seems like it must be almost done! We hear you are supposed to harvest on the longest day. It takes all my will power not to pull one up and see what is happening under there.

Some of our carrots are going to seed, so i pulled them up to see what was happening. We ate these ones last night! These are the carrots that we planted a bit late last winter. Aprilish. I think they have been in the ground too long. Will be interesting to see how the ones we planted this spring do.
And....we have a constant battle with the aphids and whitefly. The dill is not doing well as it has been attacked by both. The green house is constantly being infiltrated. I think we have it under control.
We have lettuce coming out of our ears.
Radish trees are just starting to dry out.
Pumpkin are finally starting to grow. There are two signs of fruit on the Sunshine plant.
Okra is coming up slowly.
Beans are sending out curly tentacles.
Spinach is all gone to seed, new batch started in the green house.
