The Garden Is Planted!

 Yesterday, we finally got the garden planted.  It

looks great.  We had all the seeds and sets in, but not the transplants.  Most of the transplants were seeds that I started.  A lot of peppers have been in little cups by the window for a while.  So I have a lot of pictures.  Lets see!  Here is the garden.  17'x2'.

The green beans have exploded!  I had to thin them today.

Here is Pakistan Chunky Chili Pepper.  I'm really excited about these.

Baby Spinach is rocking.  We lost a few plants to some cold mornings, but the ones that lived look great.

Strawberries that came back from last year.  I had to move them, but they are still doing good. Better than last year.  I also bought a frog for Miss 38th Street.

 Here are some peppers that didn't make it to the garden for a couple different reasons.  We have two Thai Sun Chili and one Scotch Bonnet Pepper.

 Here are the vine supports that I built for the cucumbers, watermelons and tomatoes. 

 Then the flowers!
We have three flower boxes of Calliope Dark Red Geraniums, Pinstripe Petunia, Mexican Heather and something I don't know.

One box that we had laying around that Miss 38th Street filled with Butterfly Dark Red Carnations and Lady in Red Salvia.  Also she has an upside down hanging pot filled with Minifamous Double Lemon Calibrachoa.







 

 This is a flower box of Persian Shield, Velocity Blue Salvia, Huego Dark Violet Verbena and Sundial White Portulaca, plus some spikes.

 An herb planter of Thyme, Sage and Greek Oregano.

We filled some empty space with Spangled Star Dianthus and Dwarf Coreopsis.  There is also Peppermint and Spearmint on either side of the garden.

Then Miss 38th put three Peppermint Hydrangeas by the garage.  We'll see what color they turn to next.











Not pictured here are the pot of Midnight Rose Coral Bells, Boston Ferns, Solomon Seals and garlic.
