Okay, I have to say that today was probably the nicest day we have had this year. It was 90 degrees, with bright sunshine and a little breeze. I got out early into my garden to plant my purple and green beans! Then I watered like crazy so that they would germinate.
Of course due to the heat, I had to go out and water again so that they didn’t dry up. I was trying to also do some raking of the soil, but it was so dry and with that gentle breeze, the dirt was coming up in clouds. Not too good for my breathing.
Hubby was working again today, so I was alone with the beasts, and that meant I had time to get some work done out in the green house. In just a few more days I will be transplanting my ‘seedlings’ into the garden.
Here in my growing zone, we wait until after the last weekend in May before putting any plants in the garden. Up until then, there is always the possibility of a frost. However, the way our temperatures have been, I am pretty sure that this isn’t going to be a problem.
And as you can see, my ‘seedlings’ are pretty healthy looking plants now!
I do have four tomato plants outside in large patio pots. These will remain like this all summer and usually I get a lot of fruit from them.
Below, I also have several tomato plants that I started from seed that I will put at the edges of my garden to grow as they may.
Lastly, there are my two beautiful Ichiban Eggplants. (Japanese Eggplants) They are prolific and the fruit is sweet!
I hope that the new fence I have put up around the garden will keep my bunny friends out and my beautiful leafy ‘seedlings’ will grow and flourish!
You have a delicious green thumb!!
Do the Eggplants need stacks to grow up on? You’re stuff looks way better than mine. Love YOU! Mel
What will you do with all the vegetables? You can´t possibly eat them all?! 🙂
wow they’ve grown a lot even since last weekend!
