My strawberry plants are making blossoms and little strawberries.
One pot of chives has purple flowers. When I see the flowers, I sing "chive blossoms" to the tune of "Jive Talkin'."
The transplanted tomato seedling is doing great as are the tomato seeds I planted at the same time. I'm very excited about all the cherry tomatoes I should be harvesting this summer.
Only one snap pea plant is doing well, but I planted more in hopes that the warmer weather will improve my results. I really want my snap peas to do well. I eat a lot of them.
The greens and herbs around the Pea Haven are doing well. Unfortunately, the peas and green beans aren't doing as well. Only one green bean plant is doing well. So like the snap peas, I've replanted and am hoping for lots of purple hull peas and green beans. I planted a filet variety of green bean because I like more green and less bean. Recently, I've been buying fresh filet beans at Kroger, steaming them in the microwave, and eating them without butter or any seasoning. I even eat them cold the next day. I'd love to grow my own. It would be much, much cheaper.
I finally got my Hose Hut put together so that I don't have to keep unkinking the water hose while I'm watering the garden. And since my rain barrel issues aren't resolved yet, I need to drag the hose to the other side of the house to water the Squash Ghetto.
And speaking of the Squash Ghetto, it is planted! Two types of corn, watermelon, pumpkin, butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, yellow summer squash, and zucchini were planted this week.
