I have a late garden update for you. Last week, we left for Myrtle Beach, SC for Miss 38th Street's sister's college graduation, which was awesome! Thus, I had to quickly plant the rest of the garden before we left. Unfortunately, I didn't label everything so I have a few mystery plants. Which can be fun!
So, here's the rundown of what's in the garden and around the garden:
First off, I planted the final seeds, which are (4) Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean and (8) Tendercrisp Green Beans.
Then I transplanted the seedlings from the basement. I had a lot of seedlings die, but I also had a lot live. Some were strong. Some, not so much (I'm going to post an entry totally devoted to this seedling operation of mine). I put the strongest in the garden box, and pots, and a few around the area, which wasn't a popular idea (heh heh, sorry Ms 38th). I hardened them off for a few days, first, then I put them in on Wednesday, May 2nd.
In the garden box, I have:
-Four tomato plants; Black Krim, Brandywine, Green Zebra and a Roma.
-(2) Sugar Baby Watermelons
-(2) California Wonder Bell Peppers
-(2) Aji Limon Peppers
-(2) Cucumber
-(1) Basil
-(1) Lemon Basil
I also added some pots around the front, because I have an addiction and don't know when to quit.
I have the following:
-(1) Black Cherry Tomato
-(1) Green Zebra Tomato
-(1) mystery tomato
-(1) Aji Limon Pepper
-(1) Scotch Bonnet Pepper
-(1) Lemon Basil
-(1) long planter box with a Cilantro, Basil and Parsley
Around the garden box, I slipped in two Tomatillos and one more Roma Tomato (I love you, Ms 38th!)
When we got back this afternoon, everything was doing great! I pulled the rest of the Purple Plum Radishes to give the new plants some room.
I had a few huge radishes, like this one!
We're off and running, or growing, really. I have one spot open in the garden box, which will be filled sooner than later. I hope everyone else's garden is doing well. Lets hope for a better summer this year. Last year was too dry and hot!
Adios!
