Spring has sprung in our back yard! Which means lots of gardening. Introducing veggie starts to the outdoor world! We did so much this weekend, yet we didnt make a dent. More work to be done next weekend, after the birthday party of my lil miss Kyla who will be 7.
Here's what we accomplished this weekend!
We picked our first Radishes! French Breakfast and Cherry Belle.
Swiss Chard, Torpedo Scallions with the Radishes and some Romaine lettuce made a great salad with our dinner!
We introduced Hansel Eggplant to the Garden along with some shallots.
In this raised bed we planted more Shallots, Baby Pak Choi & Cilantro. More will be added as time passes.
We also started Beans and Flowers!
Here is what we started.

I also stuck all my Tomato's and Pepper's outside to start hardening them off before adding them to the garden. I am almost certain I will not be without Tomatos this summer.
My Potato's are getting ready to hit the garden this week too! I am growing Russets and French Fingerling.
The herbs will hit the herb garden this week. I love fresh herbs when cooking!
Scallions are ready for picking! We enjoyed some in our salads this weekend!
What did you do this weekend? I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend!
Happy Gardening!!!

Wow! You've got a ton of stuff started so far! They all look great too. Oh, and I'm also growing French Fingerlings this year!

OK, Farmer Jenn! Sounds as though you've made a complete recovery. Now I'm wondering: do you use a PikRite mechanical harvester to bring in your produce at the end of the season? (I live down the street from their factory.) Are you supplying the state of California, or do you ship to the northeast as well?
ReplyDeleteFarmer Jenn! I like the sound of that! I plan on doing alot of canning! I am also donating to the seniors in my community. I dont think anyone who lives near me will be without Tomatos! Thanks for visiting!
