Well, my garden has been in the ground since early March and I am starting to see the fruits of my labor. We added a fourth bed this year, and I planted a few new things this year. We have a full herb garden with Rosemary, Basil, Lime Basil, Oregano, Stevia, Chives, Parsley, Cilantro and garlic.
I have four tomato plants in a whiskey barrel, two are cherry and two are Roma varieties:
Our other beds have jalapenos, squash, cucumbers, red and yellow bell peppers, eggplant, okra and peas. This bed has our watermelon and cantaloupe - it seems underplanted but I promise it will be full of vines in no time!
Today I went to check on things and found a cucumber of pickling size!!
Here are our jalapeños and bell peppers.
Well, it's actually been a few days since I started this post, so we had a small harvest today. :)
I picked the 2 small cucumbers on purpose, I thought I'd try an experimental batch of refrigerator pickles. If the plants are any indication, I should have plenty to use all summer long!
Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I hope to be sharing picts and recipes all summer long. Happy gardening!
