The garden is looking more and more full each week. We have transplanted about 70 Heirloom tomato plants, 40 peppers, 30 eggplants and have numerous varieties of squash, beans, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, melons coming up strong. I'll post the varieties on this site later this week so you know what's coming up later in the season.
The biggest disappointment has been the peas this spring. The germination rate was horrible. I replanted some Sugar Snaps and they look great. Hopefully they will bear before it gets too hot. I'll have some English peas to sell, but not nearly as many as I had hoped.... We'll try a fall crop and hope for better success.

First Harvest
The garden is ready for it's first harvest this week. The Swiss Chard that overwintered looks beautiful. There is a little mouse that keeps eating the roots so I'm hoping that the other beds planted this spring will be ready before the mouse finishes this whole bed! The arugula and spinach are tender and make great salads. The peas are blooming and looking healthy. I'm hoping in another few weeks we'll have some young English peas to share.
Hope you enjoy the spring greens!
