Before I forget...
There is still time to enter the Mary's Basics Vegan Triple Play Lip Balm giveaway!!
AND, stop by tomorrow for our features from Tuesdays with a Twist. Every Tuesday at 6am EST we host Tuesdays with a Twist (no rules!)
First we have seedlings and MORE seedlings! In anticipation of a larger garden I overplanted. I've been giving away quite a few tomato seedlings lately since I know I won't have room.
On the seedling/cat patio I have Emerald Green, Pink Oxheart, Amana's Orange and Beefsteak Tomatoes, Serrano, Bell, Golden Marconi and Jalapeno Peppers, Genovese and Fine Verde Basil, Huckleberry, White Egg and Black Beauty Eggplant, Thyme, Sage, Lavender and LOTS of Marigolds.
My overgrown Red Fig Tomato needs a little trim!!!

I let several Pak Choy Cabbage bolt so that I can save seeds AND attract bees to the garden.

The strawberries are from last year and up popped a Volunteer Huckleberry!!! Not sure where this came from but I'll have lots of Huckleberries this year for syrup. The leaves have a slight purplish tint.

The Serrano Pepper plants are small but already producing peppers!
Interplanted throughout the garden are various herbs and flowers like Marigolds, Basil, Borage, Giant Zinnias and Nasturtiums. These are just a few beneficial companion plants for what I have growing in the garden.

Can I just say I am jealous of your garden!! Beautiful!! I hope mine will do well this summer. New England weather certainly can be challenging for me :) I was your neighbor at Inspire Me Mondays & you surely did just that :))))
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful!! So glad you linked up at Romance on a dime again this week!
ReplyDeleteStill too early yet for us to be putting out the peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant, but I did put in some flower seeds yesterday. Good luck with them! They look great. Thanks for sharing your progress at the HomeAcre Hop! Look forward to seeing you again tomorrow: http://blackfoxhomestead.com/the-homeacre-hop/
