I decided I will continue talking about things other than politics and current issues (go ahead, talk about politics, I dare you. I don’t give a flying flip at this point) and talk more about the garden I have going this year. I think it makes a much better topic.
If you recall, I tilled up a section of our back yard which was a garden at some point prior to plant some small items. It ended up being peas, beans and carrots. There are also tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and peppers. Here is a picture of what it looked like once the seeds started growing and the plants were in:
Now? While the carrots (which weren’t really in when the first picture were taken), are now in ( and recently thinned, although you can’t tell|). I know, there are quite a few weeds, but I’m going to blame my heart attack for that.
The beans are now starting to sport some beginnings of actual beans:
And the peas? I now have plants that are sporting quite a few pods. We’re going to have to start harvesting those soon.
The other plants are continuing to grow, but it seems to be a little early yet for things to be coming from them.
Overall, things are going well. I was worried the wet spring had drowned out the plants, but they weathered it well and are now growing nicely since the weather has turned sunny and warm.
