Garden Update

Spring has certainly sprung in rOOster's garden. Potato plants are a good 2.5 feet high and have been mounded 3 times. Fruit is setting on the apricot and plum trees on the garage roof, and lettuces are providing our daily salad. The artichoke is also keeping pretty strong and we have eaten #11 and #12 now....keep 'em coming!

The beds have also been prepared for the coming of tomatoes, lemon cucumber seeds have been planted, and some rappini and additional arugula and lettuces are in the ground. A busy weekend!

Tomatoes are Very Close to Ready

My tomatoes are starting to take over the dining room and that means they need to go garden-side soon. But it's been cold so they can't go yet. But they are looking good and healthy - got fish emulsion last week. I'm ready to hand them out, so drop me an email if you want some and I'll put you on the list.

And for those watching the Artichoke race, we hit #9 and #10 last night - not as pretty but best tasting of the season by far.

Choke #7 and #8

Ok, still no new pics, but they look the same as the last ones, and were really tasty once again. Plant still looks pretty good...hard to tell how many it will produce. I hear Vegas has odds. I promise, pics of lots of things coming soon....BIG potato plants, rapidly growing tomato plants that will soon be ready to plant (place your orders!) and some other stuff too.....

Artichokes #5 and #6

True to the count, we ate 5 and 6 and they were tasty. We'll see if we hit 20, which was my estimate of harvest bounty....more soon on tomatoes..they are getting strong and closer to ready for planting in the great outdoors.
