That lettuce looks yummy

Boston lettuce I bought as seedlings. It is really doing well.

The collection of veggies in the driveway pots and containers.


Cauliflower


The bush beans need to be transplanted into here. These are plastic crates I got bulbs delivered in (Brent& Beckies). I saved them cause I knew they knew they would be useful. I had to line them for the potting mix would stay in.


Baby Green Machine melon seedlings I grew myself from seed.


The Armenian Cucumbers have been planted in this big bowl style pot.


Bok Choi seedlings transplanted to bowl type planter.


And everything.

Rob, you must really, really love peppers cause you have such a nice selection of them. I am not familiar with Karina Peas. Are they a snap pea? I Never tried to grow wax beans either.

Ah, a shelling pea. Sounds like a good one. I had Green Arrow shelling peas last spring but only have Snap and Snow peas this spring.

Closeup and long view of the tomatoes in front of the porch. 12-14 inches high.



Sungold and Sugery are my biggest tomato plants. 24-26 inches high.

Oh brother. I need more space. Just ordered a bunch of seed from Baker Creek Heirloom seed. Some of it hope to use for a fall crop but other things like beets and turnips not too late. I also got some of those french fillet type beans. I have grown beets before, very easy but this time I got golden beets, no red bleeding. Cabbage, don't know might be late. Brocolli will be for a fall crop. Ordered spinach and mustard greens bit too late this year for the,. Humm, wonder of those might work for fall?

Also my seeds of yellow squash came from Burpee.

I dug up my 12 varieties of garlic bulbs Tuesday. They are now hanging in one of my greenhouses to cure for a couple of weeks. I probably ended up with approximately 50 lb. Ken

That is a lot of garlic!

I sell what I don't store for eating/planting. Ken

So I go to the local in town nursery because I need more potting mix. Bought any seeds that I might have forgotten to order at Baker Creek Seeds the other day. I have Fordhook Swiss Chard, Parsely, Cilantro, and Dill. I was just there two days ago but today they had an entire new selection of plants in. I guess in time for the big Holiday weekend.

Anyway. They had all sorts of new peppers in and heavy on the hot peppers. But I found and bought a Sweet Banana Yellow Pepper. Don't like the hot peppers.

Then I have not had tomatillos in years. But they had tomatillo plants so I bought one. Tomatillos add the best flavor to salsa. I used to do salsa with tomatillos years ago.

And best of all I got two new eggplants. I have CLASSIC already but they had plants of ICHIBAN and GRETAL. Gretal is a white eggplant Iciban is a long fruited asian variety.


I have to find room in ground somewhere for the tomatillo and the pepper. The two eggplants will go in contains like the other eggplants.

I want to come and shop at your nursery Rita - it must be an AWESOME place to be with all the cool plants and seeds you've gotten there

So ok, before my trip out to the local nursery I was admiring my zucchini plants.

green zucs


yellow one


I pinched off a fruit and a blossom on one plant because there was no other blossoms to pollinate it.


I didn't really know but I figgured it only had one day to get pollinated.

I am really very surprised at the selection there. The nursery is not that big but the veggie section is awesome.
