Garden update 5/19

Well, my garden is coming along quite nicely.
And, I finally pulled out my overpriced Fuji camera, stuck 4 batteries in it, and took some pictures!
Some of the spinach is ready to be picked


And the peas are doing well.


The tomatoes are growing slowly but surely

The kale is getting mature enough to come out from under its protective covers


As is some of the chard (this is an "aerial view")


The lettuce is growing quite nicely and about ready to be taken out of their containers.


Oh, and then there are the herbs,

Sage






















the baby basil













and the new thyme













And so is the zucchini. I've also planted cucumber, watermelon, some beans, Mexican zucchini, and
summer squash.


The few carrots that survived the first planting are doing well, and the ones from the second planting are just beginning to spout. I expect there will be a third planting some time in June.


The broccoli never took off. I'm tempted to say it's the batch. I never should have bought seeds from wal-mart. :-p Lazy lazy.

The war with the slugs is going on just as strong as it ever was.

Also, I've seen both a rabbit and a groundhog looking around in my compost heap today. I'm just going to leave it uncovered in the hopes they will go after table scraps rather than gardens.

That's all!
