First week of May 2009

We had planted two pear trees and five herritage rasberries along the fence. We also planted a Don Juan climbing rose and a Japanese Purple leaf honeysuckle to replace the plants that were ripped up in the construction of our new fence.









Jeremy, constructed the first of 4 pyramids for climbing beans we will be planting. For now they will be used for a spring pea crop.











Here in the containers we see pansies, strawberries, marigolds, onions and orange mint.

In the boxes you can see that the garlic is getting big as are the lettuces and spinaches interplanted with them. The onions on the other end are not far behind. The radishes next to the onions are nearly ready to harvest. Within the bed; the transplanted tomatoes, peppers, and brassicas are doing very well, but the two eggplant do not appear to be growing. Two squares of beets are doing well and so are two squares of carrots. There are marigolds, nasturtiums, and a pansy interplanted with the vegitables.

Not seen are the cucumbers, melons, and next crop of lettuce, radishes, and carrots planted in the first week of May.
