Garden Update - 8 May 2010

So we are currently attempting to grow:
16 tomato plants, almost all heirloom, all different varieties
8 pepper plants, 7 different varieties
2 patches of green beans, one in Xander’s garden, one in the family patch
8 cucumbers
Corn
Radishes
6 melon plants, all heirloom, all different varieties
Basil
Rosemary
Oregano
Raspberries
Cilantro
Strawberries
Onions
Potatoes
Swiss chard
Green onion
Garlic
Arugala
Sage
Asparagus
And who knows what else!

• We have one tomato each on the Yellow Pear, Black Krim, and Superbush
• No strawberries to speak of yet. Strawberry season ended about a week ago :(
• We have peas starting to come in. Almost enough to have a side dish for the family
• We actually planted the asparagus a year or two ago and didn’t even try to keep it going this year. We’ve had several meals with our own asparagus side. It just came up out of no where and was very good.
• We regularly eat the spices and chard with our meals. I will always, no matter where I live, keep oregano and basil growing near by. It’s very cool.
