Tomatoes in the background and leaf lettuce

Tomatoes: Heirloom, Roma, Early Girl, San Pedro(?), and Millionaires

Herbs galore, with some leaf lettuce and Bok Choy sneaking in

View from the parking lot....

Newly installed shed(I didn't build it)

Having to stay 24" from the property line, a pie-shaped lot makes for some interesting decisions....

Our Leaf Lettuce as the salad foundation for lunch today (sadly, not our tomatoes yet), as well as some Bok Choy for supper!

Nice garden Sam. I'm getting hungry like in anticipation.

I just put some lettuce in where a few tomatoes failed. I should have taken a picture of my garlic which seems to be doing very well . . . need another month of growing.

Between fall and spring I've put a lot of effort into our back yard. It is paying off. My tiny garden has zucchini on the left and basil on the right and tomatoes in the middle. Cukes and peppers on the balcony outside the bedroom I'm using as an office.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

Very nice garden guys.

The previous garden pics were from 10 days ago. Here's what loads of rain and sunshine on mostly alternating days can do in a week and a half...

Bok Choy

Romaine lettuce

Beets and carrots (still a long way to go)

Eggplant an cucumber.
Only two of the Zuchinni came up so I moved around a bunch of cuke plants.

Leaf Lettuce... melts in your mouth, so tender

Tomatoes are coming in nicely

Herbs, basil is about 18" tall

What a difference a week of cooperative weather makes! Your beds are exploding Rockviper, basils set to to start making pesto.

Mike the lawn has filled in great, perfect spring for that sort of work.

Our lettuce, mesclun, kale and arugula are ready to start eating and then we've had a number of feeds of rhubarb so far.

On Wednesday planted a second go 'round of the various salad greens, radishes, beets, carrots and filet beans and a fair amount of that is poking out of the soil as of today. Great weather!

I'd say the garden is in full bloom. Just from today....

 

[rockviper]

Looking good, Toothpick!

 

[Alacrity59]

Time to set up a table at the local farmers' market.

 

[Toothpick]

Picking beans on the 4th of July. 5 gallons.

[Alacrity59]

Lots of growth. Garlic looking good for August. Flowers on zucchini, cucumber, and several tomato plants.

 

[Toothpick]

Just a little haul from today...

 

[DoctorShavegood]

I love my Gorilla Cart. I see yours picked up a few uses.

 

[Toothpick]

Many uses! I hook it up to the lawn tractor and tow rocks from the front flower beds to the fire pit in back.

 

[Toothpick]

Garden corn did well

Watermelon radishes have been pretty hit and miss in previous years, this is the first from this year, hope it's a sign of things to come.

The rest of the garden is looking pretty good, a far cry from last year, amazing the difference rain can make!

Good job Dave. Never heard of watermelon radishes. When you get a chance take us a picture of the plant.

 

[davent]

Thanks Aaron!
The plant looks identical to all the others we grow, the radish itself is white with greenish shoulders where it sits above the soil, again the same as your typical white radish, it's when you cut through that it reveals itself. Very, very cool looking, crunchy, tasty without much heat but that may be a reflection of the season here so far, great deal of rain and few scorching days so far...

We're also growing French Breakfast and a mix of colours pack and until you move back the foliage you wouldn't know that any of them were any different.

Here's the radish before i cut into it. (The photo should be turned counterclockwise 90 degrees).
