The Garden is just down the street from us so its really convenient. There are always characters there tending to their plots. Its a really nice initiative and I hope it succeeds. The garden got off to a late start this season so I planted the following from plant, not seed, in my plot:
- Finger Peppers
- Leeks
- Shallots
- Tomatoes
- Eggplant
Our home garden is in the ground already too. This year, I decided to step it up and not half ass it. And by 'step it up' I mean, ask people that know what they're doing how they do it. So I embarked on an intense emailing marathon with Jess's dad (don't be jealous that I was granted "Rob" privileges.) He's given me great trade secrets for our expanded garden this year.
This is what we planted from seed.
- Summer squash
- Cucumber (Armenian and Sugar Crunch)
- Green Beans (Italian and Roma)
- Snap Peas
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Lettuce (leaf and arugula)
- Cilantro *
- Chives *
* These crops didn't take this year. We'll try again next year.
This is what we planted from plants:
- Hot peppers
- Tomatoes (Vine and Cherry)
- Basil
In other signs of life, the blueberry bushes that were here when we moved in have sprouts that are starting to turn blue. Supposedly these do best when May and June are rainy, followed by lots of sun in July. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
The hydrangea monstrosity is in full bloom. Please come and cut some flowers. Give them to your mom, she'll love them.
Happy gardening!
