I love the taste of Bok Choi. And a nice green salad is always good!

My back patio looks pretty with the veggies growing in pots. Onions, brocolli and snow peas in view.,



Tomato beds. The straw is nice and wet now after two days of rain. Sunny today.

I planted the rest of my Eggplants today. So I have 5 eggplants and 3 zucchini, all in pots. I still have more seedlings though that I could plant if I had the room. The zuchini have been out for a while and are really looking good. I think I see flower buds comming.

Oh Rita - everything looks so nice -

I put my tomatoes out so early this year. April 29th. But they loved their straw nests and are growing already. I am so psyched for veggie season this year. Still have things to plant out as my home started seedlings are too small to plant out. And I have my cowpeas and beans seeds still to start.

My tomatoes have shown no growth since I put them in the ground. It got cool, then cloudy and overcast, and then the rains came - *sigh* - they are waiting for heat and sun

It wasn't that hot here either but mine liked their sheltered straw nests.

Your sheltered straw nests for your plants are so cool

Easy to do.

pepper plant growing


Boston Lettuce looks great.


Tomato plants have grown since I put them in ground


One of my tomato beds is here right off the front porch.


Another two tomato beds. Second picture show peas in pots also.


Some peas are in ground. Stuck wherever I could fit them!


zucchini

Eggplants in pots this year.


This square garden actually used to be a Tall Bearded Iris Garden. I decided I needed more room for veggies and last August I moved all the TB iris to another location. Then I have the posts and netting and will be growing Yard Long Beans in the smaller square to trail up.


And here are the relocated TB iris!


Juliet Tomatoes I have in the same spot as last year. 4 plants by the fence which is actually in back of a daylily garden bed.


Then I had to squeeze in those veggies wherever I could. Here is Sungold and Sugery tomatoes at the very end of my driveway way up against the end of the fence.


Cucumber seedlings in ground growing well. These are ones I bought at the nursery. I have also started my own from seed but those are small yet and not yet planted. If the weather warms up I will plant them.


My Chives want to bloom!


And finially my back patio where I have Snow peas, brocoli and onions growing in pots.

Everything looks great and so neat and tidy!

I like to mulch the in ground veggies with the straw. It really works well for me. Makes it look like a farm also. ha-ha. At least it reminds me of a farm.

I like straw mulch as well. I took pics today but I didn't sleep well so nap first, then I'll post some pics later.

Ok, nap time and then pictures!

I'm with Arlene - everything looks so lovely and healthy Rita and yes, it's looks like a farm

I like the farm look!

I realised I had forgotten to start my Armenian Cucumber seeds so just put them up today. I start them inside so they will sprout quickly.

Okay, here's two of my four rows of tomatoes...Cucumber row is to the left of the two tomato rows, then strawberries.


And peppers you can hardly see some of...I don't even know if they will survive. Garlic to the left.
