Veggie Update


We have a tiny little garden space, not room for much, but we do enjoy a few things. The tomatoes we planted have not looked good at all. I think they got way too much water when we had heavy rains; and I think the cold weather set them back. But today I saw signs of new growth, so maybe they will make it. We will just replace them if not.

My sweet neighbor Barbara gave me lettuce. It was really small when I planted it, and is now big enough to pick for salad.

And the carrots...
well, do ya think it's high time I thin them out? Yes, I think you are right!
Then there are the onions. They just seem to grow no matter what, don't they?

We planted them on either side of the tomato plants and lettuce..and guess what??
We had fresh onions with our navy beans tonight! YUM!
If you see lots of little green plants mixed in with these veggies, it is yellow and orange cosmos coming up. I made the mistake of tossing a cosmos plant in the garden late one summer, and..well you know the rest of that story! But that is ok--I like a few flowers growing among my veggies! I need to find banana peppers to plant and that will be it. No room for anything else.
How is your garden doing this spring?
