Oh Margaret. Go for it. You can have your very own Pot Getto!

You know Margaret I have always thought you needed more pots in the house by that window and of course on the patio. Now is the time to make the plunge and join us !

No Linda, no more in the house, I have no space left on that window with all of the Amaryllis and I have to move them when it is too cold or too hot.

I haven't decided about patio plants yet, too cold and miserable to get anything done.

It sounds like we are stuck in the house today ?????

I can't believe Rita can start Swiss Chard seeds when it's almost June! They'd be toast here.

Well, I should have started them sooner. But they will be ok.

Most of my tomatoes are in the triangle cages. Not too sturdy but has always been good enough for me. Here are some views of the ones near the front porch.


But last year I tried out a new to me method of support called Florida Weave. So the plants weaved last year are weaved again this year. You have to embiggen to see the weave but it really works well.

They're growing fast!

Yes, they really are growing like crazy. I am hoping I might get earlier ripe fruit this year.

Driveway veggie garden- growing!


Oh yummy lettuce.

It's looking great Rita!
You're going to be giving produce away to your neighbors. I bet next year they'd let you take over part of their yard in exchange for veggies.

Oh, I only wish I had more room. But the driveway veggie pot getto is going to expand because Burpee has free shipping on orders over $25.00 today and I just ordered a bunch of stuff.

Seeds-
Leek, Dawn Giant
Baby Bubba Okra
Sugar Hear Snap Pea
Sun King Brocoli
Tivoli Winter Squash

Plants-
Good As Gold orange banana pepper
eggplant Fairy Tale hybrid
eggplant Purple Rain.

I already have a bunch of eggplants and peppers too so I have gone compleatly overboard.

You ordered Okra!!!!??????!!!!!?????

I can say one thing for sure. Okra blooms are beautiful.

Yep, I know I am nuts. But they had this dwarf variety especially good for containers. I have never even EATTEN okra in my entire life!

Man, that driveway full of pots is going took like some tropical jungle pretty soon.

It sure is! And you know what Rita? You might just find that you like okra. Who knows right? Until you try it you won't know. It IS very good for you & they always put it in Gumbo.

Yes, I think it would be great for soups and stews. Really, there are very few things I will not eat. I am not fussy at all.

Female Zucchini blossoms and no bees around. I took a Q-top and spread pollen from a male flower. We will see if it works.


The yellow zucchini have small buds of the females as I can see the tiny would be fruits. But not near flowering.


I have just the beginnings of the first flowers on my really strange Sugar Lace II snap peas. No pictures as yet. And no signs of blooms on my snow peas as yet.

The Norli in ground snap peas were the first to show blooms. Blooming good now. Here they are in back of the tomato plants.


You can see the row better here.

So I know I am really late late but I just sowed some mustard greens (not a lot) and some celery seeds. Wow, that celery seed is so small I can barely see it. I have Tango Celery which I have read is very good for home gardeners. I have read celery is difficult but I had celery from seedlings last year and found it very easy to grow.
