I know it’s been over a week since I last posted. Well, it’s going to be another week before I get to post again. I headed out of town in about 10 minutes and I won’t be back until Sunday. I wanted to give a quick update in the middle of this dry spell.
Above you can see the tomato transplants I started from seed. They’re doing great and are ready to go in the ground. I’ve already given one transplant of each variety away. If you want one come and get it.
Everything that has been planted thus far is coming up. The sunflowers are a couple inches tall. The corn is 4 or 5 inches tall. The 1/2 runner green beans are a few inches tall with big leaves. The limas have come up and the okra is peeking through. Squash and zucchini are getting big. And we have little green tomatoes on the Better Boy plants! The carrots are getting close to being ready while the turnips and cabbage are maturing. Next week I’ll be harvesting the last few Romaine lettuce heads and getting the spinach out of the ground so sweet potatoes and soybeans and such can be sewn.
Things are really picking up speed in the garden. It’s a lot of fun watching things grow when you can tell a difference between one day and the next.
