Mother's Day: Sunday, May 10

One of these days I'll take a picture with our "real" camera. We've been gone for a week on vacation and the growth in the garden was very dramatic (for me) since I wasn't tending to it daily. Everything has taken off in the week that we were gone.

Zucchini is the large monster plant in the lower right. It gets 9 square feet but I grow some quick crops - like radishes- around it to maximize the use of space.)

The white bowls you see in the upper right are recycled instant noodle bowls with the center punched out for light to come through. They were used to help the Bell Peppers and a few other plants adjust since I planted them direct from grow center into the ground without hardening. This method works VERY WELL!!! I'm extremely please and I'll post something about that in the near future. I may need to distribute these bowls with the plants that I sell next weekend since I'm not sure if I will be able to harden any of them before the sale.

In the lower left corner, there is a single square of green bush beans. The radishes in that square had already been harvested a few weeks prior. I'm saving that corner for the eggplant and peppers that are in the grow center. I think it is about time to move them into the ground soon.
