May Planting

The first outdoor planting, May 2nd.

Later April Seedlings

The tomatoes growing up, April 22nd.

And after thinning...

"Seed" Potatoes

These are the potatoes we planted in containers on or front porch. We bought them in two packs, a dollar each pack, at Star Market. They were on the sale rack becasue they were starting to get eyes -- perfect. They were very successful and we've had lots of delcious potatoes. There are plenty more waiting to be eaten!

Seedling Photos from April II

These were our seedling trays from April 14th. From left to right, back to front:

Basil, Cilantro, Jalapenos, Poblanos, Tomatoes and Tomatillos
One stray Broccoli, Tomatoes and more Tomatoes.

The tomatoes were Cherries and Northern Hybrids. They grew into monstrous plants and then died back (due to blight? Not sure...). The tomatoes we are getting are giant -- the cherries are the size of golf balls. Pictures of those soon...

Seedling Photos from April I

This photo is from mid-April, showing our newly replanted broccoli seedlings. These guys grew into majestic broccoli plants -- that were mostly smothered by the tomatoes and monster tomatillo that we planted too close to them. Look for current pictures of the broccoli soon...

Fried Green Tomatoes

The long rainy and cold spell we had all through June (and a lot of
July) means we still have a lot of green tomatoes. We tried making
fried green tomatoes an they were awesome. We've cooked a bunch now...

First Carrot

The first carrot we pulled! Since this funny little guy, we have eaten
a bunch of the carrots. They're very sweet. A New England heirloom...

Beets From the Garden

(first effort at getting the blog rolling again!)

Here are our first two beets from the garden. The beets didn't do
well. Most never poked through the soil. But the ones that did are
growing okay. Although I have to admit these were not the tastiest
beets I've ever had...
