It seems there is interest in my garden so today we return to the garden.
The constant rain since Sunday evening has done some good as you can see. The bell peppers are looking good.
The tomatoes aren't looking too shabby either.
These are a yellow variety that I'm trying for the first time.
I love Sweet 100's and mine are looking good as well.
I also planted two Japanese Eggplants. The flowers on these are just gorgeous.
From that comes something like this.
Hopefully the rain won't cause too many problems. A little sun would be nice.
I'm off to teach another of the GAAA (that's Great American Aran Afghan) class this morning. Went out yesterday to the Lowe's grand opening (don't look Ria!). It's a nice store and they did give us a box lunch for free. I was disappointed they didn't have any herbs. I want to add some to my little garden. They did have some interesting perienials that we'll probably go back and get once the rain stops and we can get them and put them in the ground. Some things I haven't seen and thought were so pretty.
That about covers it. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
Nor much, but still I planted them, and watered them and now I can eat them. There are more tomatoes getting ripe. The non-grape tomatoes are slowly ripening. It's a race to see if one of the red varieties or the yellow variety will ripen first.
...since something decided it would eat one of the ripe Sweet-1000's. I'm betting it was a squirrel, but it could have been a bird. Whatever it is, it's not welcome and if I catch it there could be trouble!
This is what it looks like now! I had to move the little light to the front right side because it was totally lost in the petunias.
We also planted tomatoes, green peppers, Japanese eggplant and some herbs. I've always planted flowers with my veggies to help keep the bugs away. Nothing new there, my great-grandfather did too.
This is what they look like now. There's 2 types of tomatoes, the ones in the black planter are called "Brandy wine".
This is the other group at planting...
And now.
I think I ended up with 3 or 4 different types of tomatoes, including what my Aunt Grace always called "tommy toes" and a yellow variety. There are little tiny bell peppers on those plants and the eggplant have blooms that should bloom in the next day or two. So far everything looks healthy and are doing really well. Can't wait to have fresh tomatoes and some of that basil with some good mozzarella.
