Today’s haul was: scallions, broccoli, potatoes, lettuce, cilantro, cucumbers, Romano beans and green beans. In other news, I got my first tomato!! And it was delicious. Everything else is still firmly green, so I have no idea when I’ll get the next.
Actual pictorial proof – green tomatoes, and decent size peppers! And cilantro gone to seed is fairly cool looking too, though not as nice as dill.
It’s been hot. Disgustingly, nastily hot. I’d gone out expecting to get pictures of the little tomatoes and peppers on my plants, but gave up shortly after getting the large scale pictures, and stuff from the front of the garden (dill gone to seed, is lovely, isn’t it?)

This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, kale, salad mix, turnips, scallions and garlic scapes. We didn’t have garlic scapes last year, so that’s new and exciting. We also had beets as an option, as apparently it’s shaping up to be a very good beet year, but only the red ones are ready at the moment,

I’m really not sure where the weekend went, gardening-wise. I did manage to get everything potted up (four bags of potting soil later – I usually do one and half a year…) Here’s my biggest experiment: From left to right are the tomato, pepper, and Swiss chard. Since the Swiss chard was a whim, I’ll
Yesterday afternoon, since it was actually sunny out (rarer than you’d think, this year), and to anticipate the Memorial Day weekend crowd, I stopped off at the garden center after work. The haul is above. It’s pretty herb heavy – I’ve decided to try one of seemingly everything in pots in the garden, so to
